Hamburgers? Yes. But basic fare? Definitely not! What a treat they are, and the wise cook will make up a dozen or so for the freezer. If you like blue cheese, you'll never forget these burgers.

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, blue cheese, chives, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, and mustard. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours.

• Step 2

  Preheat grill for high heat. Gently form the burger mixture into about 12 patties.

• Step 3

  Oil the grill grate. Grill patties 5 minutes per side, or until well done. Serve on rolls.
