Juicy Blue Cheese Burgers: Bold, Tangy, Melt-in-Your-Mouth Perfection
Nothing hits quite like a Blue Cheese Burger—a thick, juicy patty crowned with sharp, creamy blue cheese that melts into every bite, balanced by fresh toppings and a toasted bun. It’s the ultimate indulgence for backyard barbecues, game days, or when you just crave something bold and satisfying.
A quick tip for that perfect melt? The Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater makes shredding blue cheese effortless and uniform, so it blends beautifully without the hassle.
🍔Ingredients (Serves 4)
1 ½ lbs ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
6 oz blue cheese (crumbled or shredded)
4 brioche burger buns, toasted
1 red onion, thinly sliced
Arugula or lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
Optional: bacon strips, caramelized onions, or garlic aioli
🍳Step-by-Step: Blue Cheese Burgers in 4 Moves
1. Form the Patties
Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions. Gently shape into patties slightly wider than your buns (they shrink when cooking). Make a small indent in the center with your thumb to prevent puffing. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Shred the Blue Cheese
Lock your crank cheese grater with its suction base. Insert the coarse shred blade. Feed in chunks of blue cheese—one easy crank at a time for fluffy, melt-ready shreds. Set aside. (Pro tip: Shred extra for topping!)
3. Cook the Burgers
Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Cook patties to your liking—about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until internal temp reaches 160°F for well-done. In the last minute, top each patty with a generous handful of shredded blue cheese so it starts to melt beautifully.
4. Assemble & Devour
Layer bottom bun with arugula, burger patty (cheese side up), red onion, tomato, and any extras. Crown with top bun. Serve immediately with fries or a simple salad.
🔥Tips & Twists
Extra Melty – Mix a little shredded blue cheese into the ground beef before forming patties for flavor in every bite.
Bacon Boost – Crispy bacon pairs perfectly with the tangy cheese.
Veggie Twist – Swap beef for portobello mushrooms and top with the same blue cheese melt.
Spicy Kick – Add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce.
Make-Ahead – Form patties and shred cheese with Geedel ahead; refrigerate until ready to cook.
