ingredients

1
Wipe mushrooms to clean. Scrape gills out with a spoon carefully. Brush or drizzle with EVOO (extra virgin olive oil).
2
Separate beef into 6 equal portions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper evenly. Shape into thin patties inserting a butter chip in the center of each, being sure it is contained inside the patty and not on the outside edge.
3
In a grill with a cover, prepare a medium-hot fire for direct-heat cooking.
4
Place portabellas and beef patties on the hot grill. Cook over medium heat. Grill until browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes, then with a wide spatula turn and grill just until done to your preference, 5-7 minutes longer.
5
During the last minute or so of cooking, place the rolls, cut side down, on the outer edges of the grill to toast lightly.
6
Layer a grilled Portabella, 1 1/2 - 2 tbsp of dressing, 1 1/2 tbsp (or more to your taste) crumbled blue cheese and top with a hot grilled beef patty. Place this into a grilled roll.
