Blue Moon Burgers

So, I dipped into a a recipe book that I received as a gift during Christmas, Rachel Ray's Classic 30-Minute Meals: The All-Occasion Cookbook. I decided one Friday night that I would try out a new type of burger because well, in my house, burgers get boring.

So, it was a "Blue Moon Burger" night.

The recipe calls for exact measurements, I found it much more easy and to my liking to just wing it.

Ground beef
Blue Cheese, block
Red Wine (dry, not cooking wine)
Romaine Lettuce
1 Red Onion
Kaiser Rolls
Salt
Pepper

Make patties to your liking. I made mine about 3/4 an inch thick, and because you are going to stuff the center of these, thin patties will not work. In each patty create a small pocket in the center and stuff the pocket with a "hunk" of blue cheese. Add more or less to your liking. Fill a small dish with your red wine, enough to lay the patties in and have the bottom saturate. As your patties marinate, slice your red onion into small circular slices and clean and break your romaine lettuce apart.
After marinating for about 15 minutes, salt and pepper the patties (I actually forgot about mine and let them soak for 15), and then hit the grill. I would highly suggest you only cook them to a medium rare or a medium at the very most or you will lose quite a bit of the flavor of this great burger. The cheese should be slightly melted, but not enough to really get gooey. The entire burger should carry the flavor of the cheese.
Remove from the grill, place on your roll and top with a slice of onion and lettuce and serve. No mayo or ketchup necessary!

Enjoy!
