Super Juicy Grilled Burgers with Blue Cheese and Avocado
A combination of sweet Italian pork sausage, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, and fresh rosemary are used to pack a lot of flavor into each bite. As an added bonus, the Worcestershire sauce and onion increase the juiciness of the burger without adding extra fat.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. ground beef regular
- 1 lb. sweet Italian pork sausage ground, no casings
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup white onion very finely minced
- 4 cloves garlic very finely minced
- 3 tablespoons rosemary fresh, stems removed and leaves finely minced
- Sea salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Blue cheese crumbled
- 8 hamburger buns lightly toasted*
- 2 tablespoons 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:
- Lettuce leaf
- Tomato sliced
- Avocado sliced
Instructions
- Clean grill grates and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pre-heat 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 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: Actual cooking time will depend on desired level of doneness, so check after 4-5 minutes and adjust 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 burgers to indirect heat 2-3 minutes before they are done. Top with blue cheese and close lid to allow cheese to melt completely.
- Transfer burgers to a platter and serve immediately on toasted hamburger buns and topped with lettuce, tomato, and avocado slices. Enjoy!

Notes
This recipe doesn’t specifically call for bacon, but it would be a wonderful addition to the blue cheese and avocado.
