Ingredients
- 5 pounds blue cheese crumbles
- 3 1/2 cups real mayo
- 2 1/2 cups buttermilk
- One 1/2-inch-thick slice super colossal yellow onion, separated into rings
- One 1/3-pound 80/20 ground chuck beef patty
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 2 slices American cheese
- One 4-inch sesame seed sourdough bun
- 1 tablespoon real mayo
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon ketchup, preferably Heinz
- Eight to ten 1/4-inch crinkle-cut dill pickle chips
- One 1/2-inch-thick slice tomato
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- Hodad’s Signature Bacon Patty, recipe follows
- 4 pounds sliced bacon
Instructions
- For the Hodad’s blue cheese sauce: Combine blue cheese, mayo and buttermilk in a bowl until well mixed.
- For the Hodad’s blue jay burger: Cook the onion rings on a griddle until caramelized. Set aside.
- Sprinkle both sides of the beef patty with the seasoned salt. Sear on hot griddle until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Add the cheese and let melt.
- Toast top and bottom of bun on the griddle until golden brown.
- Add mayo, mustard and ketchup to bun bottom, then add pickle chips, tomato and lettuce.
- Top with beef patty, then with Bacon Patty and 1/3 cup Hodad’s blue cheese sauce, grilled onions and toasted bun top.
- Place bacon in a large pot and cover with 2 quarts water. Bring to a boil and cook until the bacon fat renders, about 45 minutes.
- Place a 4-ounce serving of bacon on a hot flat-top grill or griddle and weigh down. Cook, flipping occasionally, until both sides are crispy. Repeat with remaining bacon.
