Gourmet blue cheese burgers.

• 1 lb 80% lean ground beef
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 6 slice thick cut bacon
• 1 red onion
• 2 slice white cheddar
• 1 head romain lettuce
• 2 kaiser buns
• 1 tomato
• 1/3 cup finely crumbled blue cheese
• 1 clove garlic (grated)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot
• 1/2 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper

1. Combine beef, salt, pepper, garlic, blue cheese and chopped shallot in a large bowl and thoroughly mix all ingredients.
2. Form into two large 3/4 inch thick patties.
3. Place patties on wax paper and let the patties rest in the refrigerator for an hour or so.
4. Slice the onion into 2 slices, 1/3 inch thick.
5. Slice tomato about 1/2 inch thick.
6. I prefer to cook on a barbecue but you can broil the patties.
7. If you broil the burgers, place the rack 6 inches from the top and set the broiler to maximum temp.
8. While the grill or barbecue is preheating, fry the bacon to medium crispy and set aside.
9. Grill onion slices for 2 minutes per side.
10. Set aside but leave on the grill, away from direct flame.
11. Grill or broil the burgers 4 to 6 minutes per side, to desired degree of doneness.
12. While the burgers are cooking, grill or broil the inside of the kaiser rolls to golden brown.
13. When the burgers are done, place 3 slices of bacon and 1 slice of white cheddar on each.
14. Move away from heat or turn off gas grill or broiler.
15. Let the cheese melt while you put your favorite condiments and the veggies on your kaiser bun.
16. Put your burger together and enjoy.
