Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds lean ground chuck
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
2 ounces Roquefort or other blue cheese
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
4 3/4-inch-thick slices Italian or French bread
4 1/2-inch-thick slices red onion

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Combine ground chuck and salt in medium bowl. Shape into four 1/2-inch-thick patties. Place 1/4 of cheese in center of each patty. Using moistened hands, fold meat over cheese, enclosing completely. Shape meat into 3/4-inch-thick patties. Sprinkle cracked pepper on both sides.

    Step 2

    Stir together oil and garlic in small bowl. Brush both sides of bread and onion slices with garlic oil.

    Step 3

    Oil grill rack. Place burgers and onion slices on barbecue. Grill burgers to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Grill onion slices until just tender, about 4 minutes per side. Grill garlic bread until golden, about 1 minute per side. Place 1 slice grilled bread on each of 4 plates. Top each with burger and onion slice.
