Despite enjoying a black & blue once in awhile at restaurants, I have never attempted to put blue cheese on a burger at home. I sometimes purchase blue cheese crumbles to put on salads, but putting them on a burger has never even occurred to me, because I know it'd be messy and difficult.
Until now. Castello® Burger Blue cheese, which I was able to try for free as a BzzAgent, is a great sliced blue cheese that is ready to put right on your burgers at your backyard grill. It comes in convenient slices, with papers in between that make it easy to apply to the burgers.
My husband is the one who does the grilling in our family. We decided to try black & blue burgers tonight. Since we were low on time, he grilled pre-formed burgers from our grocery store. He put the Burger Blue slices on just before the burgers were medium-well done. The slices were definitely easier to put on the burgers than crumbles would have been, but the slices themselves were still a bit crumbly, so coverage wasn't as perfect as it would be on a restaurant black & blue burger.
However, this cheese tastes GREAT! We enjoyed some pretty fantastic black & blue burgers for dinner tonight. I may not wait until we have burgers again - this cheese is good enough to eat on its own.
The Castello® Burger Blue cheese was hard to find for awhile, but I believe it is now available at most local grocery chains. I will definitely try it again soon.
