GORGONZOLA/PEAR BURGERS

Good morning everyone.  Ever get tired of just plain old Burgers?  Even though there is nothing quite like a wonderful Cheeseburger with all the fixings, sometimes I like to just jazz them a little with something different.  Today I have a recipe that I put together last summer while in one of my "not the same old thing again" moods.  I found out that everyone loved the new combination.  Now I make it quite often.  Especially when pears are in abundance at the market.  So here is a new fresh take on the everyday burger.

GORGONZOLA/PEAR BURGER

1 pound ground beef
Gorgonzola Cheese (1 piece or 2 small pkgs)
1 pkg of Arugla
2 or 3 Pears
Mayo
1 pint Strawberries

Make 6 patties with the ground beef.  Top three of them with  1 tbls of gorgonzola.  Place 1 patty on top of each to make 3 burgers.  Salt and pepper each side.  Grill on your grill outside or on your stovetop grill. to your desired doneness.  In the meantime, mix about 1/2 cup of Mayo with 1/4 cup of Gorgonzola.  Spread on both side of the burger buns.  When burgers are done place on one half of the bun and top with 5 or 6 pieces of Arugula, and 5 or 6 thin slices of Pear.  Top with other half of bun.
Make a salad of Arugula, Pears, sliced Strawberries and your favorite dressing to accompany the burger.

Now that's a Burger.  Talk about a taste treat!  I hope you will try it soon.  they are really awesome.

Thanks for stopping in today
ciao
