Blue and Swiss cheese burgers

Today in America is Labor day. What more traditional way to spend a holiday than grill some burgers? These have both blue and Swiss cheese in them. Here is how they are done.

Ingredients:
  • 1lb 80/20 Ground beef
  • 4 tbsn minced onion
  • 4 tbsn minced mushrooms
  • 1 small egg
  • salt and pepper
  • crumbled blue cheese
  • Swiss cheese slices
  • hamburger buns
Directions:
  1. In a bowl mix the ground beef,  minced onion,  mushrooms,  egg,  salt/pepper and crumbled blue cheese.
  2. Form into 1/4 lb or 1/2 lb patties.  I used half pound patties for my cook.
  3. Put on grill over direct heat.  The half pound patties took about 6 minutes a side.  With hamburgers you only should flip once.  Lift a corner up and if it stays together it is ready to be flipped.

  4. Once the second flip is done move the burgers to indirect heat.  Place two slices of Swiss cheese on both patties.

  5. Butter the buns and toast lightly on direct heat.  It will not take long and the butter will cause the fire to flame up, so be careful.
  6. Plate it with potato chips and beer and you are done.
