First take your meat, beef, bison, turkey, mystery does not matter, and spread it about 1 inch thick over a hard clean surface like this.

Next spread the garlic in a line down the middle.

Next add the Blue Cheese in the same way.

Sprinkle the pepper and rosemary over the entire area of meat.

Roll the top and bottom over making a large meat log. You can stop here and make a Great blue cheese meatloaf if you wanted, but we are making burgers today.

Now for the fun part. Take the meat in your two hands and start mashing it all together. Feel free to really go nuts. Crush it like your enemies skull. Squeeze it till it oozes out of your fingers like the cake at a childs party. Keep this up until you feel satisfied that all the parts are mixed well or you have gotten out most of your rage issues.

Separate the meat into 4 even parts and form the patties. There are lots of ways to do this. Personally I take the chunk hold one hand flat and place it on my palm. Then in a rotating manner I squish it with my other hand and use my thumb as a depth gauge and to form the nice even edges.

At this point cover the meat and let it sit for at least an hour so it can marinate.
While that is happening take your avocado and cut it in quarters.
Take each quarter and mash it up. You can add some lime and garlic if you like, but i like mine plain.

Smear this inside of your kaiser roll.

Grill your burger patties to desired temp.

Put one slice of each cheese on the burger 30 seconds before it is finished to let it melt a bit.

Place in the roll and stuff the baby spinach on top of the patty.

Serve up and enjoy.
