Ingredients
32 ounces 100 percent ground sirloin
12 strips bacon
1 tablespoon butter
4 kaiser egg buns
1 recipe Blue Cheese Spread, recipe follows
1 recipe Sauteed Mushrooms, recipe follows
4 lettuce leaves
4 tomato slices
4 red onion slices
Blue Cheese Spread:
1 1/4 cups crumbled blue cheese
3/4 cup sour cream
Sauteed Mushrooms:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
2 ounces white wine
Directions
- Form the ground sirloin into 4 (8-ounce) patties. Over an open-flame, grill each burger to desired temperature. While the patties are grilling, cook bacon until desired crispness, and set aside.
- Butter both sides of each bun and grill until toasted. On each of the 4 bottom buns, place the burger, followed by the blue cheese spread, mushrooms, and bacon, in that order. On each of the top 4 buns, place the lettuce, tomato and red onion, in that order. Top with any additional condiments desired, sandwich the 2 sides, and serve.
Blue Cheese Spread:
- Combine both ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours prior to use.
Sauteed Mushrooms:
- Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add garlic and mushrooms and saute until tender. Add wine and simmer for 1 minute or until almost evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to use.
