Bleu cheese butter:
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons bleu cheese crumbles

Burgers:
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup bleu cheese crumbles
1/4 cup real cooked bacon pieces
1 tablespoon Montreal Steak Seasoning
Salt and ground black pepper
Onion rolls, toasted
Lettuce, tomato slices and onion slices
Avocado slices

Bleu Cheese Butter: In a small bowl, mash together butter and 2 tablespoons bleu cheese crumbles with a fork; set aside.

For Bacon-Stuffed Burgers: Set up grill for direct cooking over high heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, 1/2 cup bleu cheese crumbles, bacon pieces and steak seasoning. Form into 4 patties slightly larger than the rolls. (Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate if not cooking immediately.) Season burgers with salt and pepper. Place on hot, oiled grill. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium (160 degrees F).

Spread toasted onion rolls with Bleu Cheese Butter. Serve hot burgers on rolls with lettuce, tomato and onion. Top with avocado slices.
