This was incredibly delicious, but only because I had to modify it. I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese in anything other than Alfredo sauces so I opted for a fine herb goat cheese instead. It was PERFECT. You HAVE to chop the onions and celery as fine as you humanly can. If you have something that can chop finely for you, I would use it. It's also a good idea to saute the onions at the very least to soften them up. I was completely unable to get the meat to bind, even though I had chopped my veggies very finely and so I turned to my trusty egg and bread crumb binding method. For 3 servings, I used one egg and the breadcrumbs I slowly added until I had the right consistency. This gave me a delicious, if HUGE burger. Cook your meat on medium at the highest or else you'll over-cook the top and bottom and leave the middle undercooked.
Yummy, but the burgers need cooked longer than the recipe says
These are yummy! And the recipe is perfect as it is: Chop the veggies finely and make the burgers not too thick. It doesn't matter if some cheese melts outside the burger while cooking. Kids and hubby love them.
