Blue Cheese & Olive Burger Topping

Submitted by Linky

"Alternative to plain old American cheese to jazz up a burger. (Beef, turkey, bison or whatever ground meat you prefer.)"

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup parsley, minced
• 1⁄4 cup onion, minced
• 1⁄4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
• 12 green olives, chopped
• 1 teaspoon olive oil, garlic flavored
• sea salt
• pepper

Made for your Football Pool win, this recipe was a great find & a huge DH-pleaser at our house (he loves both green olives & blue cheese). We always eat burgers open-face or ditch the bun altogether in favor of a hamb steak. I made the latter, used your topping for it & combined it w/some fried leftover potatoes & a sml green salad. Like another reviewer, I also left out the salt. DH is salt-restricted, but even I felt it was not needed. Congrats on you FP win & thx for sharing this sure-to-be-used-often recipe w/us. :-)

I made this yummy topping for my bison burger last evening. This special topping on the bison between the top and bottom of a homemade whole wheat garlic bun tasted like it was heaven sent. the rich flavors are simply delicious and now I want another burger for breakfast!. Made for: For Your Consideration tag game.

Wonderful topping! I'm not overly fond of "classic" burger topping, and this just hit my preferences. I covered the bun with tomato slices and put the topping on top ;-)<br/>Will make this again. Thanks for sharing!<br/>Made for PAC Fall 2012

DH grilled some burgers for lunch today and I made this delicious-tasting combo to go on top. I took the liberty of adding additional blue cheese as the olives were a little over-powering. I used green onions vs. regular ones. I let the topping sit for a little while and come to room temperature and it tastes great.

I increased the blue cheese and olives, left the onion and parsley the same. I used the black pepper, but found that I didn't need any salt due to the saltiness of the olives and blue cheese. I added a bit of olive oil for moisture. I served half on a burger, and used the rest to top a wonderful grilled ribeye. I really loved the topping on the steak. Made for Football tag!
