“I tasted these burgers in Athens, Georgia. They were so good that I made my own recipe. It combines fresh basil, Gorgonzola cheese, and garlic, and it's easy enough for a quick and simple dinner. Serve them on toasted sourdough or ciabatta buns.” - by Caroline Anne

Ingredients

1 pound ground sirloin, or extra lean beef
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1 (4 ounce) container crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
salt and black pepper to taste

"My new favorite burgers. I added worchestershire sauce. I also saved 1/4 of the gorgonzola to put on top of the burger once it was finished cooking. I cooked the burgers on our inside grill. Delish!!..." See more"
