  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large skillet, cook bacon until halfway cooked. Remove from pan and put on paper towels to drain oil.
  2. In a large bowl, break up beef with a fork. Mix in Worcestershire sauce, thyme, mustard, salt and pepper, just until combined. Fold in blue cheese and bacon.
  3. Form four patties with your fingers, handling gently. Using the shell of an egg as a mold, gently place in the middle of each patty forming a divot. Remove egg. Cover patties and put in the refrigerator for at least an hour (2 hours is best).
  4. On medium-high heat, place patties on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes Flip burgers and cook for 1 minute. Cover skillet and continue to cook for 2-4 minutes or to desired doneness.
  5. Split buns and coat with butter or mayonnaise, and toast on a skillet until lightly browned.
  6. Assemble burgers with lettuce, tomatoes and avocado. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Do not over mix meat or your patties will be dense and tough.
  • Increase the hamburger by 1/2 pound for 5-6 burgers. The rest of the ingredients can stay the same as written.
