Burger with Spicy Blue Cheese Sauce
This Blue Cheese Burger with Bacon came about one summer night when we were grilling burgers outside. I found a bottle of Frank’s Hot Sauce in my fridge and a light went off in my head, so I whipped up a creamy, spicy blue cheese sauce to go over the burgers. Wow! They turned out so delicious. My husband said it was the best blue cheese burger he ever had. The bacon, blue cheese crumbles, and tangy dressing turned up the heat on our ordinary burger night and now we use this burger recipe all the time!
Ingredients in a Blue Cheese Burger
When making hamburger patties, you can really pack in lots of flavor with these blue cheese burger ingredients before you even add any toppings.
In a bowl, start with good ground beef or sirloin, and use at least 80/20 meat to fat content. The burgers will fall apart if your meat is too lean. Add a little bit of oatmeal. I know it sounds weird, but it’ll give the patties some depth and texture and you won’t even taste it. Add some minced garlic, salt and pepper, and onion soup mix to the mixture. Then crumble some tangy blue cheese into the meat. Add some Worcestershire sauce and that delicious Frank’s Hot Sauce to the bowl. Using your hands, mix all the ingredients until they’re just combined but don’t over mix! The meat can be tough if you stir or mix it too much. Form into patties and grill.
Creamy Buffalo Sauce
The magic topping to this burger is this creamy buffalo sauce. It’s so easy to make and is a perfect topping to a bacon burger. All you need is blue cheese dressing (our Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing is to die for), and Frank’s Hot Sauce. Stir in a sauce pan on the stove until the cheese melts and it’s heated through. I like to add a few extra blue cheese crumbles after cooking. Then drizzle over the burgers. It’ll knock your socks off!
Burger Toppings
Don’t forget the bacon! Crisp, savory bacon pairs perfectly with the flavorful beef patties and tangy sauce. Try our Air Fryer Bacon to get perfectly cooked crispy bacon. Add all your favorite fixings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, etc. I like to add another slice of cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, Swiss) for even more flavor. Spread cool mayo on the bun for additional moisture.
