Black & Bleu Burger
My husband made his Black & Bleu Burger that is the best there is. “Black” comes from the blackened seasoning on the beef patties while “bleu” comes from crumbled bleu cheese. He’s tried to order this at some restaurants but it’s not the same at all. Not even close to how good he makes it. What makes his Black & Bleu Burger sooo good I believe is the thick burger patties, generous blackened seasoning on the patties, and the generous sprinkle of bleu cheese on top.
