These savory blue cheese stuffed burgers with caramelized onions combine tangy, creamy blue cheese with sweet, slow-cooked onions inside juicy beef patties for a quick and impressive meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 4 oz (115g) blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 4 sturdy burger buns, toasted
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, burger sauce

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the onions: Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-low heat in a skillet. Add thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally and cook slowly for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and sweet. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the beef mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to avoid tough patties.
  3. Form the patties: Divide beef into 8 equal portions (~2 oz or 60g each). Flatten one portion into a thin patty, place about 1 tablespoon (15g) crumbled blue cheese in the center, then top with another flattened portion. Seal edges tightly to encase the cheese.
  4. Cook the burgers: Heat skillet over medium-high heat with a little olive oil if needed. Cook patties 4-5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Avoid pressing down on patties.
  5. Toast the buns: While burgers cook, slice and toast buns lightly in a dry skillet or toaster.
  6. Assemble and serve: Place cooked patties on toasted buns, top with caramelized onions and optional toppings. Serve immediately.

Notes

Seal the cheese properly by pinching edges tightly and chill patties for 10 minutes before cooking to prevent leakage. Cook onions low and slow for best caramelization. Use a meat thermometer to ensure burgers reach 160°F (71°C). Let burgers rest a few minutes after cooking to redistribute juices. Leftover burgers can be refrigerated up to 2 days and reheated gently in a skillet.
