Blue Cheese Burgers

Here's a departure from the plain old hamburger. Be sure to use lean ground beef.

1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 3-ounce package cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt and pepper, mixing well. Shape mixture into 12 patties about 4 inches in diameter.

Mix the cream cheese, blue cheese and mustard until smooth. Divide the mixture among 6 of the beef patties, spreading to within 1/2 inch of the edge. Top with a remaining patty, sealing edges firmly.

Grill patties about 4 inches from coals or heating element, turning once, 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium. Makes 6 servings.

Prep time: 5 minutes; Cooking time: 10 minutes; Total time: 15 minutes
