Blue Cheese Fondue Burgers

Blue Cheese Fondue Burgers are one of our favorite winter dinners. I start these burgers by making a rich and creamy blue cheese sauce. Then, I pan fry burger patties. Finally, I place the burgers on brioche buns and top them with the fondue, tomato, arugula, and red onion. We like these burgers for several reasons. First of all, I like that I can make these burgers in just about thirty minutes. Secondly, I like that I can make the blue cheese fondue topping ahead of time. I like to make it early in the day and then reheat it right before dinner. And, lastly, we all like the hearty burgers and the warm and rich blue cheese sauce.

The Equipment I Used

A Cast Iron Skillet- I like to make my burgers in a cast iron skillet. But you could also use a grill pan or a nonstick skillet.

The Ingredients Needed for Blue Cheese Fondue Burgers

Cornstarch- I use this to thicken the blue cheese fondue. I buy the Argo brand and you can find it in the baking aisle.
Beef- I really like to use grass fed beef. You could also use regular ground beef chuck, or ground round, or sirloin.
Milk- You’ll need evaporated milk to make the fondue. This comes in a can.
Buns- We prefer the brioche buns, but use any bun you like.
Blue Cheese- Store any leftover blue cheese in the freezer.

How I Made my Burgers

First, I made the fondue. It’s important to measure the ingredients carefully.
Next, I made the burgers. Cook them to your desired doneness.
Finally, I placed the burgers on the buns and poured on the blue cheese fondue sauce. And added the veggie toppings.

Ingredients

6 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1 tbsp. cornstarch
8 ounces evaporated milk
1 pound ground beef chuck
¼ tsp. each kosher salt and black pepper
4 brioche buns
1 cup arugula
2 plum tomatoes
4 slices red onion

Instructions

Begin by making the Blue Cheese Fondue. In a small bowl, mix together the cheese and the cornstarch. In a three-quart saucepan, heat the milk and bring it to a simmer. Turn the heat to low and stir in the cheese. Whisk until the sauce thickens. You can reheat this right before serving, on low heat.
Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper, and form it into four patties. Heat a cast iron skillet to high heat. Drizzle the pan with a little olive oil, and cook the burgers to your desired doneness.
Place burgers on the buns and top with fondue, arugula, tomato, and onion.
