Emeril's Kicked Up Blue Cheese-Stuffed Hamburgers
Celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse stops by to show Rachael how to make his BAM-worthy burgers.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef chuck
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Emeril’s Original Essence Creole Seasoning
- 8 ounces blue cheese
- 4 large whole wheat buns, split in half
- Desired condiments, such as sliced tomatoes, romaine, sliced onions
- Emeril’s Green Peppercorn Mayonnaise
Preparation
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill. (Alternatively, you can cook the patties in a large skillet over medium-high heat.)
In a bowl, combine the beef, garlic, salt, pepper, and Essence, and mix gently but thoroughly. Divide into 8 equal patties.
Place the stuffed patties on the grill and cook to desired temperature, about 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. (Alternatively, cook the patties in a large skillet over medium-high heat.) Place the buns on the grill, inside down, until just warmed through, about 30 seconds. Remove the patties and buns from the grill and place on serving plates. Garnish with condiments and serve with the Green Peppercorn Mayonnaise.
