Buffalo Wing Stuffed Burgers

I got the idea for this recipe when challenged to a burger cook-off. The whole lot of us like chicken wings, so I figured I'd translate that into a burger. I was was not only the winner, but also the only one to use chicken.

Ingredients

• 2 stalks celery, minced
• 1 ½ pounds ground chicken
• 2 carrots, minced
• 1 ¾ cups chicken wing sauce, divided
• 2 (4 ounce) packages crumbled blue cheese, divided
• 1 (8 ounce) bottle chunky blue cheese dressing

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix ground chicken and 1 cup wing sauce together in a bowl. Shape the mixture into 10 thin patties. Spread 1 package crumbled blue cheese over the center of 5 patties. Cap with the remaining 5 patties to seal in the blue cheese.

Step 2

Cook patties until no longer pink in the center, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Step 3

Combine the remaining 3/4 cup wing sauce, the remaining 1 package crumbled blue cheese, and blue cheese dressing in a bowl. Spread over the cooked patties. Top burgers with carrots and celery.
