You need some burger recipes for summer grilling season? We've dug up some of our favorite burger recipes—from the classic burger to a Tex-Mex version to one that features blue cheese as its signature flavor. Whatever your taste, one of these four burgs should do you right. Happy grilling, meatheads!
The Classic Burger: Little more than a combination of chuck and sirloin seasoned generously with salt and pepper. Maybe topped with cheese, if you're going crazy
The Nobby Burger: A recipe for one of my favorite burgers in Portland, Oregon—the one from the Nob Hill Bar & Grill
The Tex-Mex Burger: For you folks who didn't get enough of Cinco de Mayo
You can do them on a hot cast-iron pan, then, paris221966 -- or under your oven broiler! Or however you normally cook them. I think here, it's the blue cheese that makes this burger, as it pretty much takes the lead flavor role. I used to hate these burgers because of that, but in the last few months, I've come around to blue-cheese-and-onion burgers. Delicious.
Great idea Adam! Thanks again. I would have hated blue cheese on a burger many years ago but my taste buds have blossomed during the past couple of years. Actually, all of the burger recipes look great!
Has anyone else noticed that blue cheese taste amazingly like the powder-like corrosion that forms around the posts in an automobile battery? (How do I know? When blowing the particles off the battery they become airborne and inhaling just a particle or two produces an acidic, metallic taste in the back of one's throat! Much like the taste of blue cheese.)

I don't own a grill but the Blue Cheese Burger w/Grilled Onions sounds like a winner. Thanks for the recipe :-)

I got hooked on blue cheese burgers as a teen and enjoy one whenever I get the chance. Blue cheese should have its own food group if you ask me. :)

The blue cheese burger is a perfect addition to typical grilling;-)

A great addition to the bleu cheese burger is buffalo wing sauce. What's better with hot wings than bleu cheese?

@JerseyWarren: OK. I was worried for a second that you were a regular consumer of battery acid.
