Italian-American Gorgonzola Cheeseburgers

Yield: 6 burgers

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef

1 cup (4 ounces) Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled, divided

1/3 cup chopped sundried oil-pack tomatoes, divided

1 Tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground

6 sourdough rolls, split and toasted

Directions:

Lightly oil a grill rack and preheat grill.

Combine beef, 3/4 cup of the Gorgonzola cheese, all but 1 Tbsp of the sundried tomatoes, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Shape mixture into 6 patties about 3/4- inch thick. Place burger patties on grill rack, uncovered directly over medium heat.
