Gorgonzola Blue Cheese Hamburger Sauce for my Hawaiian Burger - 52 Sauces and Rubs, Condiments


Now THAT's a BURGER!!!

One of those thick loaded up things that takes a couple of minutes of engineering how you are going to eat the thing.  A double napkin juicy delicious fellow that drips goodness.  Be sure to save that last but of bun to sop up the sauce and juices that fell out.

THIS IS GRILLING!!!

Oh, and one more thing... I certainly want everyone to enjoy my food and I do recognize that not everyone likes blue cheese.  BUT, at the same time, I am not a short order cook.  When I plan a menu, invite friends and family over, this is what I am making.  I do double check and ask if anyone dislikes blue cheese, but I do not ask, "What kind of cheese do you want?".  I will make a bald burger (no cheese) for anyone who volunteers a blue cheese aversion, but these are what I am serving.  In order to pull off the entire menu, I simply do not have the time, energy or inclination to make different styles of burgers for everyone.  If I make a potato salad (of which there are over a hundred recipes), no one tries to have that dish altered.  Be confident in your dish.  Make something special and it WILL be appreciated.  Serve a well thought out menu (even at a BBQ) and   Just a pet peeve of mine.


I already covered Grilled Pineapple in an earlier post.  Those grilled pineapple slices are what makes a Hawaiian Burger, Hawaiian!

I also covered Grilled Onions in yesterday's post.  The sweetness of the pineapple and the natural sweetness that comes out when you grill the onions is a great contrast in taste when you add the Earthy, herbal, creamy Savoriness of a Gorgonzola Blue Cheese Sauce.

My Mouth is watering in anticipation!

Oh, and one more thing before I get to the sauce... I certainly want everyone to enjoy my food and I do recognize that not everyone likes blue cheese.  BUT, at the same time, I am not a short order cook.  When I plan a menu, invite friends and family over, this is what I am making.  I do double check and ask if anyone dislikes blue cheese, but I do not ask, "What kind of cheese do you want?".  I will make a bald burger (no cheese) for anyone who volunteers a blue cheese aversion, but these are what I am serving.  In order to pull off the entire menu, I simply do not have the time, energy or inclination to make different styles of burgers for everyone.  If I make a potato salad (of which there are over a hundred recipes), no one tries to have that dish altered.  Be confident in your plan.  Make something special and it WILL be appreciated.  Serve a well thought out menu (even at a BBQ).  Your polite guests will enjoy and do what their Mamas taught 'em... Enjoy the experience (and stop at McDonald's on the way home if they have to).  Just a pet peeve of mine.

The sauce...

1 Cup Sour Cream
1 Cup Gorgonzola crumbles

  1. In a small sauce pan, over medium low heat, add the sour cream and heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add the Blue Cheese crumbles and stir occasionally for another 5 minutes until everything melts (this can all be done on the grill if you have enough space).
  3. Serve on the side or be dramatic and drizzle on each burger!
As I said, I may make a bald burger if I must, but picture yourself carrying a platter of these bad boys, Hawaiian Burgers with Potato wedges with a Cheddar Cheese sauce (tomorrow's post) and more grilled pineapple for dessert

IT's Grillin' Time!
