01
Step 1
Start by heating your grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick brush with oil so the burgers don’t stick. Season the ground buffalo meat with salt and pepper, then divide it into 8 equal balls. Using your thumb, press a small indentation into the center of each ball—about halfway through. Spoon a tablespoon of blue cheese into that little well, then carefully wrap the meat around the cheese and shape each ball into a patty.

Step 2
Place the patties on the grill and cook them for about 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on how well done you like them. If you want to be sure, the internal temperature should hit 160°F. While the burgers are cooking, toast your buns and spread a little mayonnaise on each one. Once the patties are done, assemble your burgers by piling on lettuce, onion rings, and a slice of tomato before topping with the bun. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish packs a flavorful punch with the rich, tangy taste of blue cheese perfectly complementing the lean, hearty buffalo meat. It’s a great way to enjoy a burger that feels special and satisfying without being heavy or greasy.
How to serve
Serve with crisp lettuce, ripe tomato slices, and a toasted bun to balance the bold flavors. Add a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad for a complete meal that’s both tasty and nutritious.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to keep them moist. Avoid freezing cooked burgers to maintain the best texture.
