Recipe Summary Juicy Lucy Burgers
A favorite of Minnesotans! The famous Juicy Lucy! Mmmm. So good. You MUST use American cheese on this to achieve the juiciness in the middle! I like sauteed mushrooms and onions on mine!Ingredients | Juicy Lucy Restaurant Staten Island1 ½ pounds ground beef1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce¾ teaspoon garlic salt1 teaspoon black pepper4 slices American cheese (such as Kraft®)4 hamburger buns, splitDirectionsCombine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Form 8, thin patties from the beef. Each patty should be slightly larger than a slice of cheese.Cut each slice of American cheese into 4 equal pieces; stack the pieces. Sandwich one stack of cheese between 2 ground beef patties. Tightly pinch edges together tightly seal the cheese within the meat. Repeat with the remaining cheese and patties.Preheat a cast-iron or other heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat. Cook burgers until well browned, about 4 minutes. It is common for burgers to puff up due to steam from the melting cheese. Turn burgers and prick the top of each to allow steam to escape; cook until browned on the outside and no longer pink on the inside; about 4 minutes. Serve on hamburger buns.For the juiciest burgers, be sure your ground beef is at least 20% fat.Did you make a tight seal? I hope so, because it needs to be TIGHT to avoid a cheesy eruption as the cheese melts, creates steam, and tries to find its way out.You can also fire up a medium-hot bed of coals and cook these on your backyard grill.Info | Juicy Lucy Restaurant Staten Islandprep: 15 mins cook: 10 mins total: 25 mins Servings: 4 Yield: 4 servings
