Buffalo Blue Cheese Burger
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce, or more to taste (an all-natural one like Wing Time, not a thin one like Tabasco)
- 1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise (no more than 2 g fat per tablespoon; I used Best Foods/Hellmanns)
- 4 ounces 96% lean ground beef
- 1/2 ounce (2 tablespoons) reduced-fat blue cheese crumbles
- 1 (about 3 1/2-inch-diameter) whole-grain or whole-wheat hamburger bun
- 1 small leaf green lettuce
- 3 (1/4-inch-thick) plum tomato slices
- Preheat a grill to high heat.
- In a small bowl, using a small whisk or a fork, stir the hot sauce and mayonnaise until well combined.
- Set aside.
- In a second small bowl, mix the beef and the blue cheese until well combined.
- Shape the beef into a patty 1/2 inch wider in diameter than the bun (about 4 inches).
- Grill the patty 1 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.
- (Do not smash the burger with a spatula.)
- Just before the burger is done cooking, place the bun halves, insides face down, on an upper grill rack or away from direct flame to toast, watching them carefully.
- Place the bun bottom on a plate.
- Top with the burger patty, lettuce, then tomatoes.
- Spread the buffalo sauce mixture over the inside of the bun top and flip it atop the burger.
- Serve immediately.
