Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs. 85% lean ground beef
  • 1 lb. ground sweet Italian pork sausage no casings
  • 3 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/4 cup white onion very finely minced
  • 4 cloves garlic very finely minced
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh rosemary stems removed and leaves finely minced
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

  • Blue cheese crumbled 

  • 8 hamburger buns lightly toasted
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted

  • Lettuce tomato, avocado and other toppings

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 the 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. Actual cooking time will depend on the desired level of doneness, so check after 4-5 minutes and adjust the 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 the lid to allow the cheese to melt completely.
  • Transfer burgers to a platter and serve immediately on toasted hamburger buns and topped with lettuce, tomato, and avocado slices.
  • To toast buns, brush the inside surface of each bun with the melted butter and place over indirect heat while the burgers are cooking.
