6-8 Kaiser Rolls (toasted)2 LBS. ground beef (80-20 blend)
1 PKG. Thick Cut Bacon
4 OZ. Crumbled Bleu Cheese
Coarsely Ground Black Pepper (You'll need a lot!)
LET'S GO:
Pre-cook bacon. I cook mine in a cast-iron pan right on the hot spot of the grill! You'll need 2 slices per burger. The rest is to snack on while you're cooking.
Shape Ground Beef into 6-8 patties. The thicker the better! Coat each side with ground pepper. EAT BACON! You need enough to make a nice crust when grilling. If you're not a SALLY and you like it hot, add more pepper!
Set up your grill for INDIRECT cooking and pre-heat the coals. EAT BACON! You need them nice and hot to get a nice sear and to form the pepper crust! Cook on the HOT side for 3 to 5 minutes on first side. Flip burgers and grill another 3 to 5 minutes. Move burgers over to the indirect heat side of the grill. Add bacon and top with about a teaspoon of bleu cheese (if you like it rich, you can add more). Cover grill until cheese softens. Toast the rolls and EAT!
You can serve these with lettuce and tomato if you want, but they are DAMN GOOD just the way they are!
