Grill a great burger this summer with our super easy recipe for Bacon Bleu Burger that is packed, and I do mean packed, full of flavor. A great burger always starts with high quality ground beef that is a little higher in fat content, like 80/20. Grilling releases the fat and if you purchase a ground beef with too little fat, you’ll end up with a tough patty that’s not juicy. Who has time for that?
We partnered with Washington State Beef Commission to bring you easy to make recipes pairing beef with fresh spicy deliciousness. Make sure you check out the Interactive Butcher Counter on wabeef.org to learn about choosing beef cuts.
This burger is so juicy and full of flavor that we made it twice. It’s incredibly easy too…so there’s no reason to eat hockey puck burgers this summer, just add a few ingredients and your friends (and tastebuds) will be jumping for joy!
