Description

Learn how to make a Juicy Lucy, a delicious cheese-stuffed burger that oozes with flavor. This homemade burger recipe is perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale

    Ground Beef Patties:

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cheese Filling:

  • 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, cut into cubes
  • Additional Ingredients:

  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Sliced pickles, sliced red onion, lettuce, tomato slices, ketchup, and mustard for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Patties: Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions and flatten into thin patties. Place cheddar cheese in the center of 4 patties and top with another patty, sealing the edges tightly. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the Burgers: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook burgers for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and cheese is melted. Let rest.
  3. Assemble: Toast buns if desired. Add favorite toppings like pickles, red onion, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mustard to each burger. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Ensure patties are sealed well to prevent cheese leakage.
  • Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors.
