ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs lean ground beef
- 1⁄2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 6 slices prosciutto, chopped
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- 3⁄4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 cups arugula, watercress or 2 cups Baby Spinach
- 4 hamburger buns (toast if desired)
directions
- Form ground beef in four equal patties (6-ounces each); refrigerate.
- In a small sauce pan bring balsamic vinegar to a boil over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar, stir until dissolved. Reduce heat to low and simmer 10 - 15 minutes until vinegar is reduced by half; remove from heat. Note: Keep the flame low. Simmering on high heat can cause bitterness.
- While sauce reduces, crisp prosciutto in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes; remove from skillet and reserve for topping.
- Season burgers with salt and pepper. In the same cast iron skillet, cook burgers over medium-high heat on the first side for 3-4 minutes. Flip burgers and top each with blue cheese and prosciutto. Cover and cook another 3-4 minutes or until burgers reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Place the greens on the bottom of four buns, drizzle with balsamic reduction, top with burger and top bun.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
