Juicy Lucy Burgers
Thick, pan-seared, Juicy Lucy Burgers are stuffed with melty, gooey American cheese. They are easy to make and fun to enjoy!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- 1 tablespoon hamburger seasoning
- 4-8 slices American Cheese
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 brioche hamburger buns
Instructions
- Mix the ground beef with the hamburger seasoning, then divide into 8 equal portions.
- Form each portion into a flat patty, then place 1 or 2 folded slices of American cheese on one patty, and cover the cheese with a second patty. Seal each patty by pinching the edges.
- Heat oil in a skillet (preferably 12 inch cast iron), and pan fry each for about 6-8 minutes on both sides or to your preferred doneness.
- Allow to rest for a few minutes, then serve in toasted brioche buns with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- You can use any type of ground meat to make these burgers. Keep in mind that fattier meat will shrink down more than lean ground beef will.
- If you can't find hamburger seasoning, just season your meat with salt, pepper, and some garlic powder or your favorite spices.
- Avoid cutting into the juicy lucy patties right away. Allow them to rest for a few minutes so that the cheese doesn't all fall out.
- Use one slice of cheese per burger, or use two to make them extra cheesy!
