Bacon Blue Cheese Burger
I was craving a juicy cheeseburger, so I decided to make a bacon blue cheese burger for lunch. The burgers were easy to make and tasted much better than fast food burgers. I served this bacon blue cheese burger with baked steak fries and homemade fry sauce for a delicious meal.
Bacon Blue Cheese Burger:
Fry Sauce:
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- Dash of dill pickle juice, to taste
Burgers:
- 1 lb of ground beef
- 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp of onion powder
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- Blue cheese crumbles
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked
Serving:
- Tomato slices
- Lettuce
- Red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
How to Make a Bacon Blue Cheese Burger
Make the fry sauce by combining the ketchup, mayonnaise, and dill pickle juice in a bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
Make the burgers by combining the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder together (don’t work the meat too much).
Form the beef mixture into 4 patties. Season each side of the patty with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Heat a grill pan coated in cooking spray over medium heat. Once the pan is HOT add the patties and cook about 3-4 minutes then flip.
Break a slice of bacon in half and add to the burger then top with a bit of blue cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until your desired degree of doneness.
Place the burger onto a toasted bun and top with tomato, lettuce, and onion. Serve with fry sauce. Enjoy.

Pam darling,
you've outdone yourself. What I would do to have this for dinner tonight.
I make these for the kiddos and Joe. They love 'em. The other one I make is a mushroom provolone cheese burger. I do have to say that burgers aren't quite as "pretty" as yours. 🙂

I love cheese burger and this look wonderful, Pam, gloria
I have to say those french fries look unbelievable!
The whole meal makes my mouth water! Hubs loves bacon and blue cheese and it's grillin' time in my part of California. Comin' up!
Bacon + bleu cheese + burger = awesome. And you're right: so much better at home!
Dear Fortheloveofcooking, this burger is awesome. I love the sauce you made by combining the ketchup and mayo. I make that sauce every time I eat cheeseburgers because it reminds me of In-N-Out burgers. Well presented, clean, clear and beautiful photos. I shall be returning for another delicious bite. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers, Gaby

I made these tonight (minus the grilling part) for my fiance and I. They were very yummy! Made the fry sauce to go with my steak fries too. Very tasty little meal! I was proud that I made the hamburger patties all on my own 🙂
