Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs 900g regular ground beef
  • 1 lb 450g ground sweet Italian pork sausage (no casings)
  • 3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ csup white onion very finely minced
  • 4 cloves garlic very finely minced
  • 3 Tbsp fresh rosemary stems removed and leaves finely minced
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • Blue cheese crumbled
  • 8 hamburger buns lightly toasted*
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter melted

Toppings

  • Leaf lettuce
  • Tomato sliced
  • Avocado sliced
  • Cooked Bacon

Instructions

  • Clean grill grates and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pre-heat grill to high.
  • Add ground beef, sausage, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, and rosemary to a large glass bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and combine thoroughly. Make sure both types of meat and all seasonings are completely incorporated throughout the mixture.


    Onion Added to Ground Meat
  • Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal parts and shape each part into ¾-inch thick patties. Place patties on a lined tray and use your thumb to create an indent in the middle to keep them from puffing up while cooking.
  • Place patties over direct, high heat on your grill and cook for 8-10 minutes.

    Tip: Actual cooking time will depend on the desired level of doneness, so check after 4-5 minutes and adjust the final cook time accordingly.
  • Flip and move burgers to indirect heat 2-3 minutes before they are done. Top with blue cheese and close the lid to allow the cheese to melt completely.
  • Transfer burgers to a platter and serve immediately on toasted hamburger buns and topped with lettuce, tomato, avocado slices, and bacon. Enjoy!
