Juicy Lucy Burgers

Description

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

  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 slices American cheese (such as Kraft®)
  • 4 hamburger buns, split

Instructions

  1. Combine ground beef
  2. Worcestershire sauce
  3. garlic salt
  4. and pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Form 8
  5. thin patties from the beef. Each patty should be slightly larger than a slice of cheese.
  6. 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.
  7. Preheat a cast-iron or other heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat. Cook burgers until well browned
  8. 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.
