Blue Cheese and Sun Dried Tomato Burgers

Here in Atlanta we had a short spring/summer burst and it got my summer flavors all in a tizzy, so I made some burgers in preparation for grill season. Well, there was a secondary reason, I attempted to make something that my boy toy could actually participate in, however his ever lazy ass decided not to fire up the grill and we used the foreman instead...well I used the foreman and he cleaned it a day later. Anyway, glue cheese and sundried tomato burgers were quite a hit and I imagine they'd be perfect for some sort of summer-related cookout. They have much more flavor and they are fairly cheap to make in mass quantities. Enjoy...I did until boy-toy refused to clean up.

Ingredients: (this is for 8 larger burgers, cut it in half for 4-6)
  • 3 pounds uncooked lean ground beef
  • 1 cup diced sun-dried tomatoes
  • 4 ounces blue cheese
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh shallots
  • 1 tablespoon steak sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1/4 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 12 hamburger rolls
Directions:
Mix all the above crap together in a big bowl (except the rolls...duh), use your hands, don't be shy. Grab a handful of the meat stuff and form into a patty shape. Done the more involved part.

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Or you can wuss out and use the Foreman grill. Cook to the desired "done-ness". For a more well done burger it's about 5 minutes per side.

Put on your roll, cus that's how we roll and use your favorite toppings. DONE.
