- 2 lbs, fresh Ground Pork.

- 3 stalks Celery, shaved.
- Bleu Cheese Crumbles
- Bleu Cheese Dressing (from scratch, if desired)

Garlic Aioli
Directions
Combine ingredients for Garlic Aioli and refrigerate until ready for use.
Shave celery stalks with a vegetable peeler and place in ice water until ready for use.
Divide pork into 6 even patties, approximately 5 oz. and season with Garlic BBQ Booster or your favorite seasoning. Grill or pan fry with a small amount of oil until internal temperature reaches 160 °F. If cooking on the grill, baste pork burgers in Buffalo Sauce and move to indirect heat for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to "set" on the patties. If pan frying, heat buffalo sauce in small saucepan and coat patties in sauce. Place patties on wire rack in 300°F oven for 5 minutes to allow sauce to set.
Spread butter on cut-side of buns and toast on grill or in skillet until golden brown
