The humble cheeseburger becomes an elegant entrée in this inspired interpretation. A good way to tell if these burgers are cooked to your liking—without cutting into them to peek—is to watch how the meat cooks on the sides. When the raw pink color first disappears you know they’re still rare in the middle; a couple of minutes after that they should reach medium rare.
Gently break the meat into large pieces in a large bowl. Add the Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper and gently mix with your hands; avoid overworking.
Wet your hands and shape the meat into 8 equal 1/2-inch-thick patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of 4 of the patties to hold the cheese. Divide the blue cheese into 4 equal portions, shape into disks, and set a disk in each of the 4 indentations. Top the cheese with the remaining patties and gently but firmly seal the edges to completely encase the cheese. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 20 minutes and up to 4 hours.
Prepare a hot charcoal or gas grill fire. Grill the burgers, covered with vents open, until nicely marked and cooked to your liking (2 minutes per side for rare, 3 minutes per side for medium rare, 4 minutes per side for medium). Don’t press on the burgers while they’re cooking—you want to keep the juices and cheese inside the burger, not on your grill.

The red wine reduction sauce is good, but the burger was overwhelmed by the blue cheese. This is coming from a guy who uses salad as a vehicle to get blue cheese into his body. We scrapped out as much as we could, and found the burger to be quite enjoyable after that. I suggest half the blue cheese (Pt. Reyes). Grilling instructions are spot on.
Fabulous! Moist, juicy and extremely flavorful, this burger melts in your mouth. Served it with the avocado, cucumber and red pepper salsa on pita wedges and with salad. Delicious meal!
We loved this recipe! Instructions were clear, results were fantastic. Especially good with the red wine sauce. I wouldn't change a thing, except next time I will serve them with smashed potatoes to help soak up the great sauce.
太好了。我的儿子(22)试图蓝奶酪burgers not long before this issue came out, but his didn't turn out so well. When I showed him this article, he had to try it. The directions were specific and the results were excellent.
