How to Make Bacon Blue Cheese Burgers

1. Prepare the patties: In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese.
2. Form the patties: Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
3. Cook the bacon: Cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease.
4. Cook the burgers: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the reserved bacon grease in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with 1 tablespoon of crumbled blue cheese.
5. Toast the buns: Lightly toast the Kaiser rolls.
6. Assemble the burgers: Spread your favorite burger sauce (or mayonnaise) on the bottom bun. Place a cooked patty on the bun, top with crispy bacon, and add sliced Vidalia onions (if using). Add the top bun and serve immediately.
