Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef we like to use ground sirloin
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 8 slices Havarti cheese
  • 6 cups smoked sliced brisket (click here)
  • 4 cups Onion straws see below
  • 3 cups BBQ sauce
  • 8 potato hamburger buns or your favorite burger buns

For the onion straws:

Instructions

  • Combine beef and salt and pepper until well seasoned. Separate beef into 6-8 sections or balls.
  • Taking one section at a time, make each ball into two separate, super thin, beef patties.
  • Place about 2-3 tablespoons of blue cheese onto the top of one of the patties and press the other patty over the top (sealing the blue cheese inside).
  • Continue with remaining beef patties, cover, and set aside while grill heats.
  • Grill burgers until desired doneness, then place a slice of Havarti over each patty. Remove from heat when just melted.
  • Place a few thin slices of smoked brisket on bottom half of a burger bun then layer on the burger patty and onion straws. Add BBQ sauce to taste and top with bun. Serve immediately and ENJOY!

For the onion straws:

  • Place sliced onion in a bowl with 1 cup buttermilk, cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine flour, breadcrumbs, and seasoning salt. Remove onion from buttermilk and mix into the flour mixture until well combined. Heat oil in a deep skillet until hot (about 350 degrees) and add onion straws in batches (about a handful size per batch). Remove from oil when dark golden brown and crispy.
