Grilled Blue Cheese Burgers

Description: A great twist on the grilled burger! A must for blue cheese lovers, and the sauteed mushrooms finish these off perfectly! I had these at a friend's cook-out, and I had to have the recipe. If you like your meat spicier, feel free to add more spice to the meat mixture.

Ingredients:

• 3 lbs lean ground beef
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons blue cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons onions, minced
• 2 teaspoons creamed horseradish
• 2 teaspoons prepared mustard
• 1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

1. Combine ground beef, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; mix well, and shape into 16 thin patties. It easier to form 8 equally portioned balls of meat, then halve it to form the patties.
2. Combine cream cheese, blue cheese, onion, horseradish, and mustard in a small bowl; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until blended. Divide cheese mixture evenly among 8 patties; spread to within 1/2 inch of edges. Top with the remaining patties, pressing edges to seal. Make sure to seal them well.
3. Grill hamburgers over medium-hot coals (350 to 400 degrees) 10 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness. Set aside, and keep warm.
4. Saute mushrooms in melted butter in a skillet until tender. Top burgers with sauteed mushrooms.
