Tips, Tricks & Storing

Want to make the best blue cheese stuffed burgers? Here are some handy tips:

Keep your meat cold while preparing the patties. This helps the burgers hold their shape better.

Don’t overwork the meat when mixing. Too much handling can make your burgers tough.

Make a deep indent in the patty before adding the cheese. This helps prevent the cheese from leaking out.

Chill the stuffed patties for at least 10 minutes before grilling. This helps them stay together on the grill.

Use a spatula to gently press down on the burgers while cooking. This helps seal in the cheese.

For extra flavor, try adding some crispy bacon or caramelized onions to your burger.

Storing leftovers is easy:

• Let burgers cool completely
• Wrap each burger in plastic wrap or foil
• Place in an airtight container
• Store in the fridge for up to 3 days
• Reheat in the microwave or on a skillet

You can also freeze the uncooked patties for later. Just separate them with wax paper and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
