My Bacon and Bleu Burgers

These guys were originally on the menu for Memorial Day but we ended up going out so I didn't actually get around to making them until Tuesday.  We've eaten and loved these burgers before but, as usual these days, I made a vegetarian version using a good quality meat substitute, vegan Worcestershire, and fake bacon.  It was a very tasty, almost-summertime dinner.

1lb. ground beef

1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce

2 TBSP Dijon mustard, creamy

1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves

3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

salt and pepper, to taste

Bleu cheese, crumbled, to taste 

 

1.  In a large bowl, combine the meat, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, thyme, bacon, salt, and pepper. 

 

2.  Form mixture into patties and cook/grill over medium heat until cooked through.  Mine were done in about 8-10 min. per side. 

Smeared guacamole on both sides of the bun and added

with Bleu cheese, lettuce, tomato, and red onion. 

Served with garlic fries.
