Ingredients:

Burger Ingredients:
1 lb. ground chuck
8 tbsp. blue cheese
Garlic salt, to taste
Italian dressing
1 tomato (seeded and diced)
4 tbsp. sweet onion, diced (Vidalia is good)
3 large fresh basil leaves, chopped (place leaves on top of each other, roll, slice thinly)
1 loaf French bread
1-2 cloves fresh garlic
Olive oil

Method:

Pat out ¼ lb ground chuck and make a little well in the center. Put 2 tbsp.
blue cheese inside well and bring sides of burger in to cover all of cheese with burger or it will leak out. Pat out a little more and sprinkle with garlic salt.
Cook burgers on grill or in grill pan (try to only turn once to seal in juices and keep blue cheese from leaking out).

While burgers are cooking, mix chopped onion, basil, tomato and Italian dressing in bowl and let flavors blend. Right before the burgers are done,
Split loaf of bread and brush with olive oil and lightly toast on baking sheet.
When bread is toasted, remove from oven, and rub with peeled garlic clove;
Cut into fourths. To plate, place both slices of bread on plate; toasted side
up. Cut grilled patty in half and place each half on bread slices (everyone gets two!). Let the cheese ooze out, then top with bruschetta topping. Enjoy!
