Blogger Burger........

I think most people enjoy a REALLY good burger! My husband and I are no exception, although not huge fans of the processed stuff...... We loved Five Guys Burgers though, the kind you'd find on that show "diners, drive ins and dives" with Guy Firer. In Germany you can buy this mix, it comes in a sachet and is powdered, you mix it with water and then knead it into the minced beef - it pretty much guarantees a moist burger. With that in mind I started adding a mittle vegetable stock to my burgers. One of our recipe books, "Classic home coooking" and it has a beef burger recipe which includes roquefort, (a rather very nice blue veined cheese, in case you didn't know) So with a mixture of Five Guys inspiration and my recipe alternative this is what I came up with.

Roquefort Beef Burgers

1lb (500g) ground beef
1 egg
fine bread crumbs (about 2 slices of bread)

vegetable stock aproximately 1 cup
1 medium minced onion
salt and pepper to taste
6oz (175g) roquefort

1. Soak the bread crumbs in vegetable stock, add the egg and onion, mix into a smooth paste, add salt and pepper to taste.

2. Mix the bread crumb mixture with the beef, a little at a time, you want the ground beef to be moist but not sloppy so take care. Divide the mixture into 8 balls, then flatten to make patties, place a slice of cheese on four of the patties, then top with the remaining patties. Press the edges together to enclose the filling.

3. Cook the burgers until they are brown and feel firm when pressed.

4. Serve in pita bread with green salad, or simply in a burger bun with your favourite kind of burger extras!
