Super Juicy Grilled Burgers with Blue Cheese and Avocado
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. regular ground beef
- 1 lb. ground sweet Italian pork sausage (no casings)
- 3 T. Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ c. white onion, very finely minced
- 4 cloves garlic, very finely minced
- 3 T. fresh rosemary, stems removed and leaves finely minced
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- Blue cheese, crumbled
- 8 keto hamburger buns, lightly toasted*
- 2 T. unsalted butter, melted
*To toast buns, brush the inside surface of each bun with the melted butter and place over indirect heat while the burgers are cooking.
Toppings: - Leaf lettuce
- Tomato, sliced
- Avocado, sliced
How to Make Grilled Burgers With Blue Cheese and Avocado Sauce
- Clean grill grates and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Preheat the grill to high.
- Add ground beef, sausage, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, and rosemary to a large glass bowl. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and combine thoroughly. Make sure both types of meat and all seasonings are completely incorporated throughout the mixture.
- Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal parts and shape each part into ¾-inch thick patties. Place patties on a lined tray and use your thumb to create an indent in the middle to keep them from puffing up while cooking.
- Place patties over direct, high heat on your grill and cook for 8-10 minutes.
- Tip: The actual cooking time will depend on the desired level of doneness, so check after 4-5 minutes and adjust the final cook time accordingly. (According to the USDA, the safe internal temperature for ground beef and pork is 160°F. Use an instant-read thermometer to confirm.)
- Flip and move the burgers to indirect heat for 2-3 minutes before they are done. Top with blue cheese and close the lid to allow the cheese to melt completely.
- Transfer burgers to a platter and serve immediately on toasted keto hamburger buns and topped with lettuce, tomato, and avocado slices. Enjoy!
