The Most Flavorful Burgers Ever!
Whenever a black and blue burger shows up on a menu, I’m ordering it — no question. That classic combination of a bold, spice-crusted patty with creamy blue cheese sauce is 1000% irresistible in my book. So after years of only ordering this one out, I finally developed a homemade version this summer that I’m genuinely thrilled with — and I have a feeling you’re going to love it too! ♡
If you’ve never had a black and blue burger before, here’s the deal: “black” refers to that smoky, savory blackened spice crust on the outside of the burger, and “blue” is all about the creamy, tangy blue cheese situation on top. Together, they are an absolute flavor bomb in the best way. This version keeps things simple with a quick homemade blackened seasoning that comes together in about 2 minutes, a blue cheese mayo sauce that I honestly want to put on everything, plus crispy bacon, peppery arugula and thinly-sliced red onion to round it all out. You can cook the burgers outside on the grill or inside in a cast iron skillet — whatever works best.
Best of all, these burgers come together in about 30 minutes and taste like something you’d order from your favorite burger joint. Add some fries or chips on the side, maybe grill some extra veggies while you’re at it, and you’ll have the makings of a seriously good burger night ready to go.
