Lets Start Making Burgers
Step # 1: Fold a 36x18-inch piece of heavy-duty foil in half to make an 18-inch square. Place onion slices in center of foil. Dot with butter. Bring up opposite edges of the foil and seal with a double fold. Fold remaining edges together to completely enclose the onions, leaving space for steam to build.
Step #2:  if using grill on charcoals directly, use medium heat for 25 to 30 minutes or until onions are just tender, turning packet once or twice during cooking.

Step# 3 For the time being, combine ground beef, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Shape into eight 3 or 4 inch thick patties. Place patties on grill rack. Grill for 14 to 18 minutes or until burgers are done, turning once halfway through grilling. If using a gas grill then preheat grill and reduce heat to medium. Place onion packets, then patties on grill rack over heat. 

Step# 4: In a large bowl, combine blue cheese, cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and dill weed. Use a slotted spoon to add the grilled onions to the cheese mixture; toss to coat. Spoon mixture over grilled burgers in hamburger buns.

Gives you  8 American burgers. Enjoy!!!!
