These are my friend Bryon’s favorite burgers!

]]>

mix onion, shallot, worcestershire, and seasonings with ground beef. Form 8 thin patties.

place about 2 TB gorgonzola in the center of 4 patties. Cover each patty with remaining 4 patties to form 4 large hamburgers.

In a hot pan, brown each hamburger on both sides and place on a cookie sheet. put a slice of cheese on each patty, and place in the oven at 35O degrees for 1O-12 minutes.

in a separate pan, saute mushrooms in the port wine. season with salt and pepper. cook until mushrooms are soft and liquid has evaporated. set aside.

in a separate pan, saute sliced onions in butter and balsamic vinegar. season with salt and pepper. cook until onions are soft and carmelized. set aside.

brush oil onto ciabatta rolls and toast. assemble burgers with stuffed patties, onions, and mushrooms. add your favorite condiment!
