2. Shape the meat mixture into 12 thin patties, each about 4 inches in diameter.
3. Mix the cream cheese and the blue cheese.
4. Top 6 patties with the cheese mixture, spreading it to within 1/2-inch of the edge (if the mixture is difficult to spread, try heating in the microwave for about 15 seconds).
5. Press the mushrooms into the cheese.
6. Cover each patty with one of the remaining 6 patties, sealing the edges well.

9. High-carb serving: eat with a bun and other condiments.
10. To make it extra-special, top each with a couple strips of crispy bacon.

Yet another great burger recipe! very tasty. I had a slice of raw vidalia onion on the burger so left it out of the pattie, also I love whole or half mushrooms so I cooked them along side. When cooking the hamburger I brown it well on both sides (high heat) then turn the heat down to medium low, add the mushroom, cover the pan and let it cook slow. Flip the burger a couple of times - it is so juicy Thanks for a great recipe

very good Julesong! didn't have any blue cheese, but they sounded so good couldn't resist trying them, so i used feta cheese, fresh garlic and fresh mushrooms. Very interesting hamburger, tried them on the bbq, worked ok, (only lost half of one!) I left them alone, with the lid down, for about 15 minutes, then very carefully turned them, turning them was when I lost the half. The recipe worked well cut in half for the two of us, ended up with three and a half. Definately a "do again", but next time on the broiler!! thanks for a keeper.

These were wonderful. Everybody was complaining I was making them too big (but there were no leftovers). I didn't change a thing and served them on grilled buns.

I added a pinch of italian herb seasoning to the meat mixture, and made them under the broiler. Can't wait for summer to try them on the grill. These are scrumptious. They do tend to fall apart while turning, so I recommend that while turning you place a metal spatula underneath and a grilling fork over the top to grip the burger while turning.
