Assemble the cheese-stuffed burgers 2 to 3 hours in advance and refrigerate them on a wax paper-lined tray, covered with another sheet of wax paper, until it's time to cook them. Then cook the burgers in several batches.
Courses: Starters and appetizers| 5 lbs | 2270g / 80oz | Lean ground beef |
| 1 lb | 454g / 16oz | Onion - minced (medium) |
| 2 lbs | 908g / 32oz | Garlic cloves - minced (medium) |
| 1/2 cup | 73g / 2.6oz | Finely chopped fresh parsley |
| 1 1/2 lbs | 681g / 24oz | Creamy blue cheese - mashed |
| Vegetable oil | ||
| Salt | ||
| Black pepper - freshly ground | ||
| 40 | Cocktail rolls - split |
In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the beef, onion, garlic, and parsley. Divide the mixture into 40 equal balls, each weighing about 2 ounces.
Measure out 40 separate level tablespoons of the cheese, moistening your hands and shaping them into even balls. Holding a ball of beef in your hand, press a ball of cheese into its center, shaping the meat around the cheese to surround it completely. Flatten the ball into a plump burger shape about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
Preheat the barbecue, grill, or broiler until very hot. Brush the burgers lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook the burgers 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve them on split rolls. This recipe yields 40 mini burgers.
