Dad's Favorite Detroit-Style Roquefort Burgers image

Fifty years ago, my Dad used to have this burger at lunch with his business clients in a nice restaurant in Detroit, Michigan. They all raved about them all the time. I don't remember the name of the restaurant, and chances are it is long gone... but the burger is still YUM!

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound lean ground beef
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried parsley
salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup Roquefort or other blue cheese, crumbled
4 kaiser rolls, split and heated
4 slices onion, or to taste
4 lettuce leaves
4 slices tomato

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Mix together the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and salt and pepper in a bowl, and divide the mixture into 4 portions. Make each portion into a ball, and form a pocket in each ball. Stuff the balls with about 1/4 cup crumbled Roquefort cheese, and gently pat and flatten each ball into a bun-sized burger.
  • Grill the burgers on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the middle, the cheese is melted, and the burgers show nice grill marks, 7 to 8 minutes per side.
  • Serve burgers in heated kaiser rolls, with sliced onion, lettuce, and tomato on the side.
