Blue Cheese Burgers
2007, Ina Garten, All Rights Reserved

Ingredients
2 pounds ground chuck
1 pound ground sirloin
1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup steak sauce (recommended: Crosse and Blackwell)
3 extra-large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 to 10 hamburger buns
8 ounces blue cheese, sliced (recommended: Danish Blue)
Arugula and sliced tomatoes, for serving, optional

Directions
Carefully mix the meats, bread crumbs, steak sauce,
eggs, salt, and pepper with the tines of a fork, but do not mash them. Lightly
form hamburger patties and press lightly into shape.

Prepare a charcoal or a stove-top grill.

Cook the hamburgers for 4 minutes on 1 side, then turn and cook 3 minutes on the
other side for medium-rare. Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Allow
the hamburgers to rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the buns, cut side down,
for 1 minute, until toasted. Place a hamburger and a slice of blue cheese in each
bun, plus arugula and tomato, if desired, and serve hot.
