Spicy Buffalo Burger

Spicy Buffalo Burger
Grilled burgers topped with spicy Buffalo mayonnaise and blue cheese on Kaiser rolls.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Louisiana hot sauce
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 pounds ground beef
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
6 Kaiser rolls, split
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 cup blue cheese, crumbled

Method:  Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. To make the Buffalo Mayonnaise, combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, butter, and brown sugar in bowl of food
processor. Process until well combined and refrigerate until serving.

To make patties, combine beef, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.  Handle meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well.  Divide mixture into 6 equal portions and form portions into patties to fit Kaiser rolls. Place patties on grill rack, cover, and cook, turning once, just until done, about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. During last few minutes of cooking, place Kaiser rolls, cut side down, on outer edges of rack to toast lightly.

To assemble burgers, spread a generous amount of Buffalo Mayonnaise over cut sides of Kaiser rolls. On each Kaiser roll bottom, place a patty, celery, and blue cheese. Add Kaiser roll tops and serve.
