Blue Cheese Burgers

I realize not everyone is a blue cheese fan but if you are - try these!!

1 1/3 pounds ground sirloin
1 tablespoon Worcestershire
1 handful of chopped flat leaf parsley
1 shallot or boiling onion, minced
Steak seasoning -or- coarse salt & black pepper (to taste)
1/2 pound crumbled blue cheese
Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
4 crusty rolls, split

Toppings:
Romaine lettuce leaves
Vine ripe tomato slices
Blue cheese dressing (homemade or store bought)

Combine the first 5 ingredients and divide the meat into 4 equal amounts. When forming each patty, nestle a pile of blue cheese crumbles into the center of the meat, and gently form patty around cheese.

Brush or drizzle burgers with extra-virgin olive oil and grill on indoor electric grill preheated to high for 7 to 8 minutes on each side. On an outdoor grill, cook 6 minutes on each side 6 inches from hot coals or over medium high gas flame with the grill lid closed.

Serve burgers on split rolls with lettuce, tomato, and blue cheese dressing.
