Blue Cheese Burgers with Sherry Vidalia Onions

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Blue Cheese Burger | Jennifer Cooks
A big juicy burger is hard to beat, especially during the summer when the outdoor grill is king.  At my house, I prefer grilling in the summer because I don't want to heat up my house with stove top or oven cooking.  Plus, the grill usually means quick and easy, and not much cleanup.
These blue cheese burgers were delish!  Grilling the onion outside on the grill was nice and easy, and I liked the technique of throwing them in a large Ziploc bag with some sherry vinegar and thyme.  It softened them up and gave them great added flavor!
I really liked this technique of putting the grilled onions into the zip top bag to allow to steam.  It keeps you from using added fat to saute them to the right softness.  The steaming does it for you.  Also, the vinegar and thyme give a full flavor punch that you might be missing from all that butter.
These blue cheese burgers were very good! My kids were asking for seconds!
