Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
  • 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 sesame seed burger buns
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded

How to Make Blue Cheese Burger with Gravy

  1. In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into four equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until your desired doneness is reached. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with crumbled blue cheese and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
  3. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the gravy. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.
  4. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken for about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Toast the sesame seed buns in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Assemble the burgers: place a lettuce layer on the bottom half of each bun, then add the cheesy burger patty. Generously drizzle the rich gravy over the top and close with the bun lid.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use high-quality ground beef for the juiciest burgers.
  • Allow the blue cheese to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before using to enhance its flavor.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook the patties in batches if necessary.
  • For an extra touch, add sautéed onions or mushrooms to the burger.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the blue cheese for goat cheese for a milder flavor.
  • Add crispy bacon slices on top for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Mix in some garlic powder or onion powder into the beef for added taste.
  • Use a whole grain or gluten-free bun for a different twist.

What to Serve With It

  • Sweet potato fries for a deliciously different side
  • A fresh garden salad to balance the richness
  • Coleslaw for a crunchy, tangy contrast
  • Grilled vegetables for a lighter option

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the burger in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, adding a splash of water to create steam and keep the burger moist. The gravy can be reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.
