BLACK AND BLUE BURGERS



Black and Blue Burgers image

Very flavorful burgers full of spice and the wonderful flavor of cheese. Great over the charcoal grill, although these can be made indoors at a pinch.

Time 41m

Yield 6 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 lb ground chuck
1 lb ground beef round
6 fresh kaiser rolls, split
3 -6 leaves romaine lettuce, torn
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1/3 lb premium blue cheese (not crumbled)
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
3 ounces premium blue cheese (optional)
1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional)
1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)

Steps:

  • You will need 1/2 pound blue cheese total (get the block type cheese, not the crumbled stuff in packages).
  • Prepare your dressing by crumbling 3 ounces of cheese and mixing it thoroughly with the other dressing ingredients and setting aside to chill (do not do this more than a few hours before).
  • Mix together your spice mix in a large shallow bowl or plate and set aside until needed.
  • Mix together chuck and round, then separate mixture into 1/3 pound pieces (just over 5 ounces)- you should have 6.
  • Divide each piece in half and form into a thin patty and place onto wax paper on whatever platter you are working with.
  • Take the 1/3 pound of blue cheese and cut into 6 divided sections (approximate) and place thin slices onto 6 of the patties you have formed.
  • Cover these patties with the remaining 6 patties and form a pinched seal around the edges, making it tight.
  • Pick up each patty, and gently reform the burger and pat it back out to thinness, if needed; rest them on waxed paper.
  • Take patties one by one and coat in the seasoning mixture, not forgetting to coat the side edges and patting them nicely flat when finished; rest on waxed paper.
  • Cook over heated coals or on gas grill until it is cooked through or temperature reads 160F (do not press on patties while grilling).
  • Allow patties to rest 10-15 minutes after cooking for cheese to settle.
  • Serve on split kaiser rolls (may toast them if you like) with appropriate condiments: lettuce, tomato, sliced red onion, and a little blue cheese dressing (instead of mayo; optional).

BLACK AND BLUE VEGGIE BURGERS



Black and Blue Veggie Burgers image

I love vegetarian burgers, especially black bean burgers. This recipe is aggressively zippy; therefore, tone down the spiciness if you need to. Can be pan fried or baked. Created for the Cookgirl Fall Fashion line for 2005.

Time 55m

Yield 6 patties

Number Of Ingredients 28

1/4 cup yogurt
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup cilantro leaf, minced
salt, to taste
1 teaspoon lime juice
2 (15 ounce) cans refried black beans (or use up your leftover black beans!)
1 small white onion, minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons achiote powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 garlic clove, finely minced
2 tablespoons blue cornmeal or 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
1/2 jalapeno, finely minced
1 -2 radish, minced
1/2 lime, juice of
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste or 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced very small
1/4 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/3 teaspoon salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil, for frying
lime wedge
red onion, slices
tomatoes, slices
oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Prepare cilantro cream by combing ingredients and set aside.
  • Place the refried black beans in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small saute pan, heat up a little bit of oil and saute the onion, cumin seeds and achiote together for about 2 minutes or until the onion just starts to soften. Add the garlic and saute another 30 seconds.
  • Whirl the cornmeal in a mini-blender or coffee mill to a fine powder.
  • In the large bowl with the beans, add all the ingredients, including the onion mixture and mix well. Let set for about 20 minutes to allow the cornmeal to soften and absorb. (Bean mixture can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated.).
  • Oil your hands and form the mixture into six patties or twelve mini-patties.
  • Stove top directions: Heat some olive oil in large saute pan on medium-high heat. Fry the patties for about 5 minutes, flip over and fry another 5 minutes.
  • Oven directions: Form the patties and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15-20 minutes or until sizzling and lightly crisp on top.
  • Serve warm on whole grain burger buns with your favorite burger toppings.
