Blue Cheese Stuffed Burger with Red Onion & Spinach

Note from original author: Sharp & salty blue cheese, sweet red onion & slightly bitter baby spinach lend balance & texture to the rich ground beef in these elegant yet satisfying burgers. When buying, look for baby spinach with dark, vibrant green leaves; avoid those that show signs of bruising or wilting.
