I always like to keep my burgers simple. I never have tomatoes or onions on them (unless they're grilled) the bun should be toasted with some kind of sauce on the bottom, and the meat simply seasoned with some salt and pepper.
Honestly I'm not picky..
I'm a huge fan of a blue cheese burger and it's pungent flavor but Cashel Blue is on the milder side, unlike a Stilton or a Roquefort. It's creamy, salty, smooth texture is perfect for laying thick on a burger so that's what I did!
I tried to be uber-creative and pull some crazy recipe from my inner bloggy, but at the end of the day this burger is my baby. The creamy butter-like cheese along with the crispy, salty pancetta will make you a member of the "no lettuce and tomato" organization for sure.
Yes there is a club...I'm the only member so far but you can join me in my quest. No offence to lettuce and tomatoes, I love them equally but just in other recipes!
I did end up making another "interesting" recipe with the Cashel Blue. I'll share it with you in a future post and you can let me know what your thoughts are.
I passed it to my official taste panel but my wife ended up spitting it out and my kids loved it, go figure!
Don't they tell you kids never lie, at least until they're older? So I'm taking it as a win...Oh...on a separate note, I hate taking photographing burgers.
I used to think ice-cream was difficult!
