Buffalo Blue Cheese Burger

This burger can be cooked in a grill pan or on a non-stick grill, but Devin loves outdoor grilling when possible for optimum flavor without added fat.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon buffalo sauce, or more to taste (an all-natural one like Wing-Time, not a thin one like Tabasco)
  • 1 teaspoon low-fat mayonnaise
  • 4 ounces 96% lean ground beef
  • 1/2 ounce reduced-fat blue cheese crumbles
  • 1 whole-grain hamburger bun
  • 1 small leaf green leaf lettuce
  • 3 (1/4-inch thick) plum tomato slices

Method
 

  1. Preheat a grill to high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, using a small whisk or a fork, stir the buffalo sauce and mayonnaise until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a second small bowl, mix the beef and the blue cheese until well combined. Shape the beef into a patty that is 1/2-inch wider in diameter than the bun.
  4. Grill the patty about 2 minutes per side for medium rare, or until desired doneness is reached (do NOT smash the burger with a spatula). Just before the burger is cooked, place the bun halves, insides down, on an upper grill rack or away from direct flame to toast, watching them carefully.
  5. Place the bun bottom on a plate. Top with the burger patty, lettuce then tomatoes. Spread the buffalo sauce mixture over the inside of the bun top and flip it atop the burger. Serve immediately.
