Moist and tasty blue cheese burgers are sure to be a hit at your outdoor gathering. The blue cheese melts during grilling resulting in a flavorful and juicy bite. If you prefer, use feta, goat cheese, or sharp Cheddar cheese in place of the blue cheese.

Ingredients:

2 (1-ounce) slices country white bread

2 tablespoons fat-free milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 pounds lean ground sirloin

1/2 cup Crumbled blue cheese (2 ounces)

 Cooking spray

 8 hamburger rolls halved

Instructions:

Prepare grill.

Place bread in a food processor; process 30 seconds or until finely ground. Place breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Add milk to breadcrumbs; toss with a fork to moisten. Add salt, pepper, and beef to breadcrumb mixture, stirring just until combined. Divide meat mixture into 16 equal portions, shaping each into a 3 1/2-inch patty. Spoon 1 tablespoon cheese in the center of each of 8 patties; top each with 1 remaining patty, pinching edges to seal.

Place patties on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove from heat; keep warm.

Lightly coat cut sides of rolls with cooking spray; place cut sides down on grill rack, and grill 30 seconds or until toasted. Serve patties on toasted rolls with desired toppings.
