I'll possibly be grilling for Dad's day tomorrow and am trying to prepare some recipes!
I've never been a fan of blue cheese. Can you guys suggest a different cheese that would work will with this recipe?

Crumbled feta?

Or pretty much any shredded/grated cheese. Maybe grate some Swiss? It's lower in sodium than a lot of other cheeses.

Feta or Asiago cheese would be delicious.

I wouldn't replace the blue cheese. Im not a fan either, but that recipe sounds delicious and I find that I can handle blue cheese in small quantities. However, maybe you can make your patty w/the kind of cheese you like and leave the rest as is.

Love the laughing cow suggestion!

I LOVE goat cheese! It has less calories than bleu cheese, less sodium, less total fat, and less carbs.
