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! Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef |
1/2 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 |
Directions:
1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Serve burgers in heated kaiser rolls, with sliced onion, lettuce, and tomato on the side.
