Instructions

For The Burgers:

Heat grill to medium high heat.
Form 2 lbs. of ground beef into ⅓ lb. patties. Once the patties are formed do not overwork them or they may become tough.
Place the patties on a plate and sprinkle the first side with ½ tsp. each of garlic powder and onion powder and ¼ tsp. kosher salt and pepper. Flip the burgers over and repeat with another ½ tsp. each of garlic powder and onion power and ¼ tsp. salt and pepper.
Place the burger patties on the direct heat and cook uncovered for 4-5 minutes on the first side. Flip once and cook uncovered for another 4-5 minutes on the second side.
Move the burgers to the outside of the grill or over a more indirect heat, cover, and cook until the inside reaches desired done-ness. The safe internal temperature for ground beef is 160 degrees Fahrenheit (this may be checked using a meat thermometer).
A general cooking guide:
3-4 minutes for medium-rare
4-5 minutes for medium
7-8 minutes for well-done

For The Blue Cheese Sauce:

Combine ⅓ cup mayo, ⅓ cup sour cream, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce, ¼ tsp. garlic powder, and a pinch of kosher salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir until completely combined using a fork or small whisk.
Add ½ cup blue cheese crumbles and ⅓ cup fresh or dried chives (optional). Stir until combined.
To serve: Place the cooked burgers on gluten free bun (or regular bun if not gluten free) along with veggies of choice (optional) and top with a generous drizzle of blue cheese sauce.

Notes

A gas or charcoal may be used to grill burgers. An indoor grill pan may be used in place of an outdoor grill (instructions listed above).

Cooking times will vary depending on the type of grill used and personal preference. It's important to note that the safe internal temperature for ground beef is 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fresh or dried chives are optional. The sauce will still be delicious without the addition of chives.
