Two Novice Chefs, One Tiny Kitchen

I love a good burger. My latest favorite burger place is Ted’s Montana Grill, I’m especially fond of their blue cheese burger. Tyler always gets a salad there, weird, but he claims it’s an amazing salad. We decided to recreate these burgers at home, it was quite simple and very tasty! To make this WW core friendly, use fat free blue cheese (or reduced fat and count the points, I think fat free cheese is terrible) and serve w/o a bun (obviously I did not follow my own advice!) And obviously count the points for the beer Blue Moon is my favorite!
