Blue Cheese Corncake Burger Beacon

Blue Cheese Corncake Burger Beacon 

1/2 lb. organic 85% lean ground beef
3 oz. crumbled blue cheese, divided
sea salt and pepper

2/3 cup polenta cornmeal
1 1/3 cup water
sea salt and pepper

 

Bring the polenta and water to a boil in a small saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. Stir constantly with a spatula until thick and creamy.

Divide the polenta mixture between two plastic wrap-lined ramekins, sprinkling a small layer of blue cheese crumbles (about 1 Tbs.) in each ramekin.

Chill for at least 4 hours to allow the polenta to set.

 

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Combine the meat, remaining cheese, and sea salt and pepper together to mix well. Mash the mixture into a baking ramekin.

Bake, covered, for about 35 minutes – or more if you like your burger well done.

Baking a burger is actually a magical way to keep the juices contained and keep the burger super moist and smooth. You will learn to love this method.

 

Serve the burger between your two corn-cake “buns” as a beautiful little beacon.
