I don't know about all of you, but my grill has been going nonstop this summer.


I want to grill ALL THE THINGS!


But, I also love to grill the usual suspects like burgers and dogs too. Why stop at plain homemade beef burgers when you can have Cordon Bleu Burgers with just a few simple additional ingredients?


Being an ambassador for the best Angus beef company in the country certainly has it perks. Earlier this month I was introduced to a line Certified Angus Beef ® brand frozen burgers that are phenomenal. Nice thick patties that cook up juicy and flavorful straight from their frozen state. I used frozen Certified Angus Beef ® Prime Beef Patties for these Cordon Bleu Burgers and thought it was a perfect fit.  These magnificent burgers are currently available at Meijer and GFS stores across the country.

If these frozen Certified Angus Beef ® brand Beef Patties aren't available to you in your area, you can make your own homemade beef burger patties with Certified Angus Beef ® brand ground beef. I would suggest an 80/20 or an 85/15 mixture. Click here to find out where you can purchase Certified Angus Beef ® brand near you.


I always look for the Certified Angus Beef ® brand logo when shopping for beef. I know that I will always get a premium product that is full of flavor and will always be tender. I know this because Certified Angus Beef ® brand isn't just Angus beef, it's Certified Angus Beef ® brand which means it's passed several rigorous standards that allow it to rise above all other Angus beef in taste and quality.

That's why these Certified Angus Beef ® brand Beef Patties are the perfect canvas for my Cordon Bleu Burgers.


Cordon Bleu Burgers

My family has always enjoyed Chicken Cordon Bleu, so when I had brainstormed the idea for these Cordon Bleu Burgers, I knew they would be a hit! Did you know that Cordon Bleu translates to "blue ribbon"? So essentially, these are Blue Ribbon Burgers. Yeah...I'd say they are just that!


Cordon Bleu Burgers have all the flavors of a classic Cordon Bleu dish...creamy Swiss cheese, Dijon Mustard, and of course, smoked ham. The flavors all work so well in this homemade beef burger creation! For a little better balance, I added more acidity in the form of vinegar to the sauce since there are so many rich components going on in this burger.

Cordon Bleu Burgers are so easy to put together! It's simply a matter of timing with everything. Keeping a cooler side on the grill is essential for flare ups and for melting the Swiss cheese. On my gas grill, I keep the far left burner turned off. I also use that side to toast my buns while the burgers are cooking.


The main components to these Cordon Bleu Burgers are the burger, the cheese, the ham and the Dijon sauce. I've opted to garnish mine with crisp lettuce, sliced vine ripe tomatoes, and sliced red onions, but you can garnish your burgers with whatever you like. Or leave the garnishes off altogether. It's your choice!
