Bleu Cheese Burgers

These thick (man-sized), tender, and very creamy bleu cheeseburgers are another one of our recipes made 'on the fly' with whatever was in the pantry. Be sure and use a good quality bleu cheese (we like Stella Brand). Ideal served with with Creamy Bleu Cheese Sauce. Use pita bread and add sliced tomatoes for a '2Bleu style' gyro.
