Black and Blue Burgers are stuffed with blue cheese crumbles and coated in blackening seasoning. Served on toasted buns with bacon, avocado slices, and special sauce, these gourmet burgers can’t be beat.

 
These are restaurant quality burgers that are easy to make at home. The robust, salty flavor of blue cheese adds so much flavor to these burgers. There’s a pocket of blue cheese inside the burgers so it flavors the meat as it grills.
What Type of Ground Beef to Use"
My favorite ground beef for burgers is ground chuck (80/20). It has enough fat to create a super flavorful and juicy burger. An 85% lean meat works well too, but any leaner and you risk having dry burgers.
What is Blackening Seasoning"
For seasoning, the burgers are coated in blackening seasoning. It is a seasoning blend that typically has a bit of heat and a whole lot of flavor. Popular in New Orleans, it is a great seasoning for fish, pork, chicken or steak. It typically contains paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, and garlic powder. You can make your own blackening seasoning mix or use a store-bought one like Paul Prudhomme’s Blackened Steak Magic.
