Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef 80-20 blend
3 ounces blue cheese crumbled
½ Cup chives fresh, diced
1 teaspoon hot sauce I like Cholula here
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
6 Hamburger buns toasted

Instructions

In a large bowl, using very clean hands, gently mix ground beef, blue cheese, chives, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, salt and mustard.
Form into 6 patties. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.
Preheat grill, broiler or cast iron skillet. Cook burgers 5 - 6 minutes per side or until cooked to desired doneness. Serve on buttered and toasted buns.

Notes

Choose a creamy blue cheese. A dry blue cheese will not melt as well. Suggestions:

Award Winning Point Reyes Blue Cheese is my absolute favorite blue cheese on earth. Creamy and bold in flavor, it's perfect for melting into these burgers.
Maytag blue cheese is also a quality choice. Maytag blue cheese is produced in Iowa and is a cow's milk cheese with exceptional blue cheese flavor and creamy texture.
Stilton Cheese: Turn this blue cheese burger into a Stilton Burger. Stilton is an English semi-soft, crumbly and creamy. With a bold rich flavor it will bring a more intense and complex flavor to these burgers.

Tips for Success:

Don't over mix or over handle the ground beef mixture. Doing so will compact the meat and cause the patties to be dense and dry. Gently form the patties to where they are firm enough to stay together.
Too much cheese: If you're a blue cheese fanatic, don't be tempted to add more. It may cause the burger patties to fall apart, the flavor balance will be "off", cheese leaks and flames happen.
Resting: Once cooked, let those burgers rest for a few minutes, tented with foil. This will help the juices to distribute inside the burger patty, instead of running out when you take your first bite.
