As we head into grilling season, there’s nothing I love more than a delicious burger! Red Robin is KING of delicious burgers and my husband always orders their Black and Bleu burger.
It tends to be a little messy with the garlic aioli, bleu cheese crumbles, and sautéed mushrooms and onions – but the flavors come together for burger perfection.
Now that I’m getting more pregnant and it’s getting a little crazier to wrangle all the kids at a restaurant (haha!), we make them at home! They are absolutely delicious and we never have to pay a tip 😉
Recipe Ingredient Notes
To make Black & Bleu Burger, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 quarter-pound hamburger patties
- 4 ounces baby portobello mushrooms, (sliced)
- ½ small onion, sliced thin
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 4 hamburger buns, (we used brioche buns)
- garlic aioli, for topping
- lettuce, for topping
- bleu cheese crumbles, for topping
Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment
How to make black and bleu burgers
- Cook hamburgers using preferred method.
- While the hamburgers are cooking, cook the mushrooms, onions, and butter in a skillet over medium heat until mushrooms are browned and onions have started to caramelize.
- Top each hamburger bun with garlic aioli, lettuce, a hamburger, sautéed mushrooms and onions, and bleu cheese crumbles.
Other variations
We think this recipe is pretty darn close to the restaurant, but you can add in (or take out) whatever you like. Here are some of our favorite changes:
- Adding provolone cheese instead of bleu cheese crumbles (that’s what I do because I can’t eat bleu cheese while pregnant!)
- Add bleu cheese dressing for a little extra sauce
- Substituting french fried onions for caramelized onions
- Substituting turkey burgers or bison burgers for black angus
What to serve with these burgers
We love serving these burgers with seasoned steak fries (just like the restaurant), but they also taste great with sweet potato fries, zucchini fries, or this delicious side salad.

curious why you left out the blackening seasoning? Red Robin says they blacken the mushrooms and onions, but since I don’t put mushrooms on mine and I like the fried onions better, I put cajun seasoning in and on the meat. Thoughts?
Sounds delicious. This is a copycat recipe, not the exact original.
