Blue Cheese Portabella Burgers

The blue cheese and portabella dress this up to please adults as well as kids. This goes great with a nice glass of California Zinfandel.

  • 6 large Portabella mushroom caps or Portabella mushroom slices

  • 3-4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1½ lb ground sirloin (90/10)

  • 1½ teas salt

  • ½ teas pepper

  • 3 tbsp butter or margarine divided into 6 equal pieces or chips

  • 6 kaiser or good burger rolls, split

  • bottle good quality creamy or chunky blue cheese salad dressing

  • 4 oz pkg crumbled blue cheese

  • Wipe mushrooms to clean. Scrape gills out with a spoon carefully. Brush or drizzle with EVOO (extra virgin olive oil).

  • 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.

  • In a grill with a cover, prepare a medium-hot fire for direct-heat cooking.

  • 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.

  • During the last minute or so of cooking, place the rolls, cut side down, on the outer edges of the grill to toast lightly.

  • Layer a grilled Portabella, 1 ½ - 2 tbsp of dressing, 1 ½ tbsp (or more to your taste) crumbled blue cheese and top with a hot grilled beef patty. Place this into a grilled roll.
