Cheese

Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Baby Swiss or Blue can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

Grease grill grate. Heat grill to medium.
Combine the sour cream, parsley, chives and garlic in a large bowl. Crumble beef over mixture; mix just until combined. Form into six patties, about 1/3 pound each. Season with salt and pepper.
Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat for 5-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer inserted into patties reads 160°F. Top with baby swiss. Cover and cook for 1-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with blue cheese.
Place lettuce on bun bottoms; top with the tomato, onion and burgers. Replace bun tops.

Recipe Tips

Enjoy more tasty ways to top burgers! Swap in these cheeses for the baby swiss and blue, and enjoy this burger recipe all season long. | Pair Carr Valley Cheese’s buttery, rich triple-cream Creama Kasa® cheese melted with their artisanal Cranberry Chipotle Cheddar for a distinctive sweet and smoky heat on the finish. | Or melt tangy, pungent Henning Aged Brick Cheese with their mild Onion & Chive Cheddar for a bite that’s pleasantly bold with a touch of herbs.

Cheesemonger Tip

Do you have questions when shopping for cheese? Ask the cheesemonger! A cheesemonger specializes in the buying and selling of high-quality cheese, usually available in the specialty section of a grocery store or cheese shop. Knowledgeable and passionate, a cheesemonger is a go-to resource for cheese varieties and pairings, proper cheese storage and handling, its cooking applications and cheese brand information.

Savor Hook’s Cheese Company’s whole milk, extra creamy baby swiss, melted and then topped with its original, Danish-style blue. Aged more than one year, this blue has a strong, tangy flavor with a slightly sweet finish.
