Instructions
1
Prepare stuffed patties
Start by heating your grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates so the burgers don’t stick. Season the ground buffalo with salt and pepper, then divide it into 8 equal balls. Use your thumb to make a deep well in the center of each ball, about halfway through. Fill each well with a tablespoon of blue cheese, then carefully seal the meat around the cheese and gently press the balls into burger patties.
2
Grill and Toast Buns
Place the patties on the grill and cook them for about 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until they’re cooked through to your liking. If you have a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 160°F (70°C). While the burgers are cooking, toast your buns and spread a little mayonnaise on the cut sides.
3
Assemble the Burgers
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on the bottom bun, then add a leaf of lettuce, some onion rings, and a slice of tomato. Top everything with the bun and enjoy!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This burger combines the bold flavor of buffalo meat with the creamy tang of blue cheese. It’s a perfect balance of spicy and savory that makes each bite exciting. Plus, the juicy filling keeps the burger moist and full of rich taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with crispy sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad to balance the richness. A side of crunchy celery sticks with ranch or blue cheese dressing complements the flavors well. This burger also pairs nicely with a cold beer or a tangy lemonade.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to keep the cheese from melting out too quickly. For longer storage, freeze the cooked patties separately and thaw before reheating.
