Bourbon and Blue Burger

The flavors of bourbon onions, blue cheese, bacon and the perfect all-beef patty with the perfect touch of bourbon blended hot and spicy barbecue sauce makes this Bourbon and Blue Burger a black-tie affair.

Ingredients

-Ground beef 70/30%  - Salt  - Freshly ground black pepper  - Head Country  -Championship -Seasoning, Sweet & Spicy  - Head Country Bar-B-Q Sauce, Hot & Spicy   - Good bourbon or whiskey divided  - Onion   - Blue cheese crumbles  - Bacon cooked until crispy  - Fresh Hamburger Rolls

Mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, Head Country Championship Seasoning, Sweet & Spicy Blend and 1 TBSP Head Country Bar-B-Q Sauce, Hot & Spicy.

Divide equally into 4 portions and shape into patties. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.

Preheat your grill. In a small heavy-duty pan, whisk together the remaining Head Country Bar-B-Q Sauce, Hot & Spicy sauce and 2 TBSP of the bourbon.

In a heavy duty pan, melt the butter and add the onion slices, saute . Pour in the remaining bourbon and allow the liquor to cook down, stirring occasionally until the onions are golden and soft.

Grill the burgers, cooking to medium temp or 160F for ground beef.

Slide onto toasted buns. Arrange the blue cheese atop the burgers to allow it to melt over the hot patties. Pile the onions and bacon on top and drizzle with the bourbon-infused Bar-B-Q sauce.

Forget the garnish. This burger doesn’t need a hype squad. It brings it all in every bite.
