My favorite burger

2 pounds lean ground beef

1/2 pound lean ground pork

1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 to 6 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese

1 ripe avocado sliced into 8 slices

8 slices bacon

4 slices of tomato

Lettuce

Sliced onion for sautéing (about 1/2 medium onion)

Cilantro mayo:
3⁄4 cup  mayo
3⁄4 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1 or 2 small cloves of garlic minced

4 Burger buns

Combine all the ingredients for mayo and set in the fridge.

Combine the beef, pork, chives, salt, pepper, soy sauce and olive oil in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Shape the mixture into 4 patties. Then, make a pocket in the center of each patty and fill each with a tablespoon of the blue cheese. Close the pocket by pinching the meat together. Grill each Patty about 5 minutes on each side, Do not press them flat . This can be done in a skillet also.

While the burgers are cooking in a skillet or grill, cook bacon to desired texture, pour off some of the drippings and add onions and sauté until lightly brown. Place buns on the grill or in the oven, lightly toast.

To complete burger, spread some of the mayo on each side of the bun. Place a patty with some sautéed onions on the bottom bun, top with two slices of Bacon, 2 slices of avocado, tomato and lettuce. Slap on the lid and enjoy.
