This is an incredible burger. I did make it medium and added to the flavor and juiciness. Since I am a freak for onions on burgers, I added caramelized vidalia onion along with the cheese to the center of the Juicy Lucy. WOW. I also plan on trying this with some of Chef john's Bacon Jam as a topping. Just can't go wrong with bacon and onions.
A true juicy Lucy uses American cheese. Just fold into quarters -- no sense fussing with cutting out circles. Make sure edges are sealed. I use a little bit of water on edges to help "glue" together.
These were amazing from assembly to eating. I’ve made other versions before, but the technique and finished burgers were sooo delicious! Definitely a new favorite at my house!
I have to admit I worked garlic and onion flakes into the meat before forming patties. I used a biscuit cutter to cut the cheese. I also put a spoonful of chopped canned green chiles on top of the cheese before sealing. Heaven!
This is absolutely delicious!!! I made this exactly as the recipe had stated. I will definitely be making this again. This recipe reminded me of the surprise burgers my mom would make.
Chef John is absolutely right when he said this is a different experience than a normal cheese burger. This is now my go to for all burger parties.
So good the whole family loved this one No more dry burgers
When ever I have the time (having 2 kids) This is the best way to make a burger for friends family and KIDS! They always love it!!! even though sometimes it's a little to much for the young crowd. By the way I like to change it up with other things stuffed in here and there what ever you like or have a taste for and it's always awesome
This is amazing! As good as at least one of alleged original juicy lucy creator but without the drive and wait for a table. Based on other reviews I used 80% fresh ground beef and Montreal steak seasoning in lieu of individual spices and a slice of American cheese folded in quarters. Due to sweltering heat I popped
My patties would not stay together once I bit into it.
