Blue Cheese Burgers

By sheilaolim

Shape the patties the night before, and chill until you're
ready to grill. Use bread left over from the loaf used for
the tapenade to prepare the breadcrumbs. Set out lettuce,
sliced tomato, thin red onion rings, Dijon mustard, and
reduced-fat mayonnaise so guests can build their own
burgers.

Ingredients

• 2 (1-ounce) slices country white bread
• 2 tablespoons fat-free milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pounds lean ground sirloin

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare grill.
Place bread in a food processor; process 30 seconds or until finely ground. Place breadcrumbs in
a large bowl. Add milk to breadcrumbs; toss with a fork to moisten. Add salt, pepper, and beef
to breadcrumb mixture, stirring just until combined. Divide meat mixture into 16 equal portions,
shaping each into a 3 1/2-inch patty. Spoon 1 tablespoon cheese in the center of each of 8
patties; top each with 1 remaining patty, pinching edges to seal.
Place patties on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until desired
degree of doneness. Remove from heat; keep warm.
Lightly coat cut sides of rolls with cooking spray; place cut sides down on grill rack, and grill 30
seconds or until toasted. Serve patties on toasted rolls with desired toppings.
