- 9 slices bacon
- 6 oz bleu cheese
- 1 onion, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 c toasted bread crumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 milk
- 2-3 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 T dijon mustard
- salt and pepper
- buns
- toppings (ketchup, mustard, onion, lettuce, more bleu cheese and bacon, etc.)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Sautee onion and garlic till translucent. Place in a large bowl. Fry bacon and add half of it to the bowl with the onions and garlic. Add the rest of the ingredients except buns and toppings and mix thoroughly. Form into 6 large balls and place on a baking sheet. Make a large dent in the balls and add bleu cheese and remaining bacon to each, pinching ground beef around the hole to close. Flatten, taking care not to let any of the filling to get out.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour or until well done. Serve on buns with your choice of toppings.
