How To Make blue cheese-stuffed burgers

    In a medium bowl combine beef, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. On waxed paper shape beef mixture into 8 thin 4-inch-diameter patties. Place 1 Tbsp. of the blue cheese in the center of 4 of the patties. Top with remaining 4 patties; pinch edges to seal.

    Brush onion slices with olive oil; sprinkle with salt.

    For a charcoal or gas grill, grill burgers and onions on the rack of a covered grill directly over medium-high heat for 5 minutes per side or until no pink remains in burger. Brush cut sides of buns with olive oil. Grill, cut sides down, the last minute of grilling burgers.
