Ingredients

  • 1 lb extra lean ground sirloin
  • 1/3 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • Himalayan salt
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat grill
  • Gently combine the blue cheese crumbles with the meat, but do not over mix! That will toughen your burger.
  • Form burgers - this should make 4 very easily. Again, do not over handle the meat! They do not need to have a perfect shape at all.
  • With your thumb, make a deep depression on one side of the burger.
  • Brush olive oil on both sides of the burgers and season with Himalayan salt.
  • Grill burgers on high for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on how done you would like them to be! We usually do 4 mins on each side.
  • Enjoy on a bun, wrap, or lettuce wrap! I went the lettuce route because I was saving rooms for corn on the cob and sweet potato fries! You can also top with sautéed mushrooms for some extra veggies!

Notes

21 Day Fix: 1 RED, 1/4 BLUE, 1/2 TSP plus toppings (per burger)
WW: 5 points plus toppings (per burger) [Calculated using 95% ground beef and reduced fat blue cheese]
