Ingredients
- 1 lb Prairie Legacy Grass-Fed Ground Beef
- 2-4 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese - to taste
- 4 whole wheat or brioche hamburger buns
- 1 large red onion - sliced into ½-thick rounds
- Canola oil for grill
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard - for serving
- 4 teaspoons mayonnaise - for serving
- 1-1/3 cups baby arugula

Instructions
- Prep all of your ingredients - cook the bacon, slice your onions etc.
- Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and place large indentations in the center of the patties, forming small “bowls” then sprinkle ½ -1 tablespoon of blue cheese into the center of each patty. Fold the outer edges over the center, encasing the cheese. Set aside.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, open buns and place on the grill about 2 to 3 minutes to toast. Set aside.
- Oil grill and add the onion slices. Grill on both sides until grill marks form and the onion is slightly softened, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Season patties with salt and pepper. Place them on the grill and cook about 3 minutes per side for medium or about 2 minutes per side for medium rare.
- Spread each bottom hamburger bun with mayo and mustard and top with the arugula, onion, burger, bacon, tomato and the top bun. Serve immediately.
