- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup beer
- 2 tablespoon blue cheese
- 2 tablespoon cheddar
- Optional: Honey
- For the Blue Cheese Burger
- 1Â CBCÂ onion roll
- 1/3 pound grass fed ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon course kosher salt
- 2 tablespoon sweet n spicy mayo (mix 2 tbsp mayo with Captain Food's sweet heat seasoning blend)
- 2 tablespoon heirloom cherry tomatoes (diced)
- 3 slices of red onion (grilled)

Steps to Make It
For the Beer Cheese Sauce
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
In a small saucepan, make a roux with the butter and flour, cook down until flour is cooked out and then add in the beer and whisk. Once it thickens, add in the blue cheese, the cheddar, and stir. If too strong, add a little honey. Season to taste.
For the Blue Cheese Burger
-
Form a patty with the meat and sprinkle with salt on all sides. Grill the burger over high heat until you reach your desired doneness. If you don't have a grill, you can totally do this in a cast iron skillet with some butter. When it's done, set the burger aside.
-
Meanwhile, toast your buns and smear some mayo onto each half. Add the cooked burger, then the blue cheese beer sauce, the red onion, the tomatoes, the basil, and then the other half of the mayo'd bun. Serve immediately.
