Nothing against the usual BBQ cuisine, but if you’re looking for a good recipe to take your BBQ to the next level, this recipe for spinach blue cheese burgers is awesome!
I make big batches of these burgers and freeze them, so I can just pluck them from the freezer, toss them on the grill and have a classy BBQ in minutes. And every time I serve these, they get rave reviews and I’m left handing out the recipe!

Gourmet Spinach Blue Cheese Burgers
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 oz baby spinach (chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 lbs lean ground beef
- 6 oz crumbled blue cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and heat, stirring constantly, just until fragrant, about a minute. Add the chopped spinach and stir to coat in the garlic/olive oil. Remove from heat, cover and let sit in hot pan for 3 minutes, stirring once. Remove from pan and place on paper towel-lined plate to cool.
- Once cooled, in a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. Divide mixture into 6 equal parts {I like to use a 1 cup measuring cup when I do this} and form into rounded patties. Lay the formed patties onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and freeze for 30 minutes. Transfer patties to freezer bags.
- When ready to use, remove from freezer and grill from frozen until cooked through.

The burgers taste yummy, but I found that grilling them from frozen made them quite tough. Any tips?

This basic recipe could work with just about any lean ground meat…
How about trying it with venison, pork, lamb or goat meat? Yum!

I didn’t have bleu cheese on hand so I subbed basil/tomato feta instead. Delicious!
