PARTNER POST – Get inspired with creatively crafted Castello Blue Cheese as we celebrate a Summer of Blue with #BluesdayTuesday.
Make a customer burger this summer, filled with gooey, rich cheese punctuating every bite. Watch your eaters devour the spicy patties cooled down by the creamy blue cheese.
By Keith Jackie
Summertime is burger time, and our grill is in full swing!! With Fathers day right around the corner, we cooked up a special treat for dad: a spicy mouth-watering burger stuffed with rich and creamy blue brie cheese. Dads everywhere love a burger prepared on the grill, but at Superman Cooks, a plain old burger just won’t cut it. Our friends at Castello sent us some delectable Saga Blue Brie, and we thought its rich taste and texture would be perfect stuffed inside this special burger. We combined ground chuck with spices and fire-roasted Serrano peppers, and (as if that wasn’t enough) we served it on a warm homemade pretzel roll. 
This burger is custom-made for Dad. Serve it up warm, with the gooey rich cheese punctuating every bite. Then watch him devour it and head for the recliner to settle in for a nap. As a dad, this is what I think father’s day is all about. The creaminess of the blue brie cheese helps to cool the subtle heat of the pepper. This burger is packed with juicy flavor!
Now you can make potato salad, grilled corn, or many different side dishes to accompany our burger. Just make sure you make two burgers for good ol’ Dad. We recommend a side of our Hillbilly Potato Salad. Seriously, this recipe specially created to make sure Dad is happy on his special day. While Jackie and I prepared this meal, we kept snacking on the homemade pretzel buns as they were still warm from the oven. We even spread some of the Costello Blue Brie cheese on the warm pretzel rolls and OMG,what an amazing snack in itself! We are confident that dads everywhere will be happy with this special burger on this special day.
Castello Summer of Blue — Spicy Blue Brie Stuffed Burger
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Description
This spicy blue brie stuffed burger is a mouth-watering treat with gooey cheese in every bite, perfect for grilling season.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
- 3 serrano peppers
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
- 8 ounces Castello Saga Blue Brie cheese
- Toppings of your choice
- Buns (we used pretzel buns)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the serrano peppers on the grill grate and cook until the skin is completely blackened, turning occasionally.
- Remove the peppers from the grill and run them under cool water to remove the charred skin. Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers, then chop them finely.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, chopped serrano peppers, garlic powder, and parsley flakes. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and form into thin patties.
- Cut the Castello Saga Blue Brie cheese into small cubes. Place a few cubes of cheese in the center of half of the patties.
- Top each cheese-filled patty with another patty, pressing the edges together to seal and form a stuffed burger.
- Place the stuffed burgers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the burgers on buns with your choice of toppings.
Notes
For a milder heat, use fewer serrano peppers or substitute with milder peppers. Serve with sides like potato salad or grilled corn. Pretzel buns add a unique flavor and texture, but any bun will work. Leftover cheese can be spread on warm pretzel buns for a delicious snack.
