2 pounds of ground beef 80% lean/20% fat blend
8 slices of apple wood smoked bacon
8 ounces Crescenza cheese
8 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
4 brioche buns, or alternative artisanal bread, toasted
8 tablespoons of Thousand Island dressing (recipe below)
Handful of washed wild arugula
Thousand Island dressing
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 ounce pickles, minced
1/2 ounce shallots, minced
1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Heat a griddle or sauté pan over medium high heat, coat with olive oil. In a bowl, combine beef and salt and pepper to taste to form four 5-inch patties. Cook patties for about 8-9 minutes in pan, flipping once, to desired doneness. While burgers are cooking, place all the bacon in a skillet, cook for about 5 minutes on each side, reserve. Just before patties are cooked, place the Crescenza and Gorgonzola on top until melted; remove from heat and let rest.
Mix ingredients for the Thousand Island dressing in a bowl and set aside.
Halve the toasted brioche buns, then spread dressing on each side. Layer the bacon and arugula to complete the burger. Serve warm.
