Buffalo Wing Burger With Blue Cheese
These Buffalo sauce burgers with blue cheese are perfect for barbecue season! And since this weekend is the Victoria Day holiday weekend, the unofficial start of summer here in Canada, what better time to fire up the grill.
The garden centers are packed with homeowners picking up plants and supplies as the chance of frost has finally past.
One thing is for sure, everyone is back outside in their yards again, and the smell of barbecue is all over the neighbourhood! Our backyard is no exception. Â
Now that the gardens are weeded, the screen porch cleanup is underway, the patio furniture has come out of hiding and the barbecue has been cleaned and polished, it is time to throw our favourite burgers on the grill.
Every summer my husband hosts a golf day and barbecue for his co-workers and these Buffalo Wing Burgers are a huge hit. Â If these buffalo wing burgers and my Lavender Honey Ice Cream are not on the menu, you can bet I am going to hear about it!
Full recipe and instructions are at the bottom of this post!
Just a few ingredients
How to make Buffalo Wing Sauce Burgers
- Add ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce to a large bowl
- Mix well with clean hands
- Form into large patties about 1 inch thick
- Grill over medium heat for approximately 20 minutes, until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees
- Grill the buns if you wish
While burgers are grilling whisk together melted butter, hot sauce and a few dashes or Worcestershire sauce and set aside.
Serve these buffalo wing burgers with a side of crispy onion rings, your favourite summer salad, or these delicious Crispy Dijon Roasted Potatoes and you have a complete delicious summer barbecue meal.
Tips & Tricks
- For a thicker Buffalo sauce, chill for about 10 minutes after whisking. Whisk again when you remove from the refrigerator.
- Serve with freshly sliced tomatoes, lettuce and sliced or fried onions
- Be sure to test the burgers for internal temperature of at least 160
- I used small chunks of blue cheese and allow it to melt slightly while patties are still on the grill
With a stellar weather forecast for the entire long weekend I have a feeling we will be dining al fresco all weekend long!

Maureen, these look delish! Yesterday, I was pondering what new treat I could conjure up for the barbecue (while weeding our garden no less) and came up empty. I decided I would have to do some browsing on the Internet to find something.
This is such a timely arrival in my mail box! I love ‘hot’, carmelized onions (yum), and blue cheese. I think i’ll go with ground chicken since I like it better than beef.
The results should be stunning and you’re right, we’ve finally been blessed with a beautiful warm weekend. I can hardly even believe that it snowed just last weekend.
Thanks Jan! It has been a long weekend full of outdoor activities with grilling at the top of the list!!
The burgers were absolutely delicious! I did go ahead and use ground chicken for mine and had to add some siracha sauce to the hot sauce ‘dressing’ since, “Oops! I don’t have quite enough hot sauce left!!” With my love of caramelized onions, they were also included.
They were a hit with everyone and I’m sure they will be served up again soon. Thank you for sharing!
Yum! There is just something about a burger that screams summer. Yours look absolutely amazing. I love the combo of buffalo sauce and burgers and all that bleu cheese…. I wish I had one now!
I love the flavors in this burger. It really looks so tasty.
Love that you turned these into buffalo burgers! Yum!
Another Canadian member of Sunday Supper!! Happy May Long 🙂 I’ve been so curious about your burgers since I saw your post title… and they did not disappoint. WOW they look good!!
I have been thoroughly enjoying my Monday off! Next week I will be sulking because all of my American friends will have the long weekend!!
A classic flavor combo. I like that it works with any ground meat!
Anything with frank’s is delicious! I love the carmelized onions.
So true Anne! Frank’s is a kitchen staple at our house 🙂
