Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (Gorgonzola or Roquefort work well)
• 3 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Pinch of salt (optional, taste before adding)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon
   Cook bacon until crispy. Let it cool on a paper towel, then finely chop.
2. Mix the Butter
   In a bowl, combine softened butter, blue cheese, chopped bacon, garlic powder, pepper, and parsley (if using). Mix with a fork until evenly blended. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

Shape and Chill
Spoon the mixture onto parchment or plastic wrap, roll into a log, and twist the ends. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour until firm.

Serve on Burgers
Slice and place a pat of the butter on hot hamburgers just before serving. The butter will melt and create a creamy, smoky topping.
