Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb ground chuck
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/3 to 1/2 c crumbled blue cheese (2 oz.)
1 medium red onion, sliced crosswise
olive oil
salt
4 hamburger buns
1 c fresh baby spinach

Steps:

1. In a medium bowl combine beef, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. On waxed paper shape beef mixture into 8 thin 4-inch-diameter patties. Place 1 Tbsp. of the blue cheese in the center of 4 of the patties. Top with remaining 4 patties; pinch edges to seal.
2. Brush onion slices with olive oil; sprinkle with salt.
3. For a charcoal or gas grill, grill burgers and onions on the rack of a covered grill directly over medium-high heat for 5 minutes per side or until no pink remains in burger. Brush cut sides of buns with olive oil. Grill, cut sides down, the last minute of grilling burgers.
