Blue Cheese Burgers

Mark Here...This is taken from the Barefoot Contessa's recipe for Blue Cheese Burgers, although I was using a grill pan instead of an outdoor grill.  We had this while watching Friday Night Lights episode, "Upping the Ante"

Blue Cheese Burgers

Ingredients

3 lbs ground beef (the original recipe called for half chuck and half sirloin, but I want to our local butcher, McCall's, told them what I was making and just got their ground beef...which was amazing)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup steak sauce
3 large eggs
salt and pepper
buns
blue cheese
arugula
sliced heirloom tomatoes (I picked an assortment)

Lightly mix the first 5 ingredients (salt and pepper to taste), being careful not to mash.   Form hamburger patties.

Cook the burgers a couple minutes each side.  This part is always iffy..3 to 4 minutes a side depending on the size of the patties and how well done you like your burgers ( I prefer medium rare).  Remove the burgers, cover with tin foil and set aside for 5 minutes.  Grill the buns, then assemble the burgers with patty, blue cheese, some arugula and sliced tomatoes.
