This week we are heading out to the grill. It’s warming up and it’s burger season. But a Juicy Lucy isn’t just any ordinary burger- it is a reverse cheeseburger. That is, the cheese is stuffed on the inside. When you bite into these burgers you are met with an explosion of ooey gooey cheese. You can sub out the cheddar for your favorite cheese such as gruyere or bleu cheese. These are sure to satisfy your hunger. This recipe makes four Juicy Lucy’s.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 4 slices of cheddar
- salt
The Prep
Take about 2 ounces of ground beef and form it into a patty. Then lay a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty. Next form another 2 oz patty and place it on top of the cheese slice. You will have a sandwich of cheese where the buns are burger patties. Pinch the edges of the two patties all the way around to seal in the cheese. Season the outside with salt.
The Cook
I like to sear my burgers for a minute on each side on high heat. After that, I turn off a couple of burners and finish the burgers on medium indirect heat. Cook to your desired temperature. You may or may not see the cheese oozing out of the burger.
That’s it! Serve on a bun, or on top of greens. I rounded out this meal with BBQ baked beans and coleslaw. EAT!
