Equipment
- 1 grill
Ingredients
Onion Parcel:
- 2 Large Sweet (Vidalia) Onions, Cut into Thick Slices
- 1 Tbsp Butter
Patties:
- 2 lbs. Ground Beef
- 3/4 Tsp Salt
- 1/4 Tsp Black Pepper
The Rest:
- 1 cup 4 oz Crumbled Blue Cheese
- 4 oz Cream Cheese
- 2 Tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 Tsp Dried Dill Weed – Leaves and Stems Also known as dill
- 8 Hamburger Buns Cut Open (Toasted if You Like)
Instructions
- Bring your charcoal to medium heat or preheat your gas grill on full before dropping the setting to med–high. The gas grill will be covered during cooking.
- Obtain a 36”x18ʺ piece of heavy–duty foil and fold it in half to make a really strong, foil square. Pack the onions and dots of butter in the center, bring the foil edges over and make a sealed parcel. Don’t wrap them too tightly though.
- Grill the package directly over the heat until the onions are just tender. Turn the foil package now and then (25–30 min).
- While you wait for the onions to cook, mix up the meat and seasoning. Divide into 8 balls and pat them down until 3⁄4ʺ thick.
- Grill them on a lightly oiled rack until the internal temp is 160°F, turning once (14–18min)
- Mix together: blue cheese, cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and dill. Lift the onions out of their foil bed (leave any juice behind) and toss to coat.
- Spoon this mixture over the burgers in buns. Enjoy!
