STUFFED CHEESEBURGER AKA "JUICY LUCY"
Yummy cheeseburgers with a cheesy gooey velveeta suprise in the middle. You can season the meat and top the burgers however you like. Oh yeah and don't try with cheddar, it seems to evaporate or ooze out during the cooking process.

CHEF JOHN'S JUICY LUCY
This isn't just any old cheeseburger. Depending on whom you talk to, this cheese-stuffed burger is either called a "Juicy Lucy," or a "Jucy Lucy." That's because two restaurants in Minneapolis claim to have invented it, and they spell it differently. Make sure you thoroughly and thoughtfully press the edges of the two patties together to seal in the cheese stuffing, which keeps the meat juicier. Spread your favorite burger sauce over the bun.

Steps:
- Divide beef into two 3-ounce balls. Lightly moisten fingertips with water and press beef into patties about 1/4-inch thick. Drop Worcestershire sauce over patties; rub in lightly. Sprinkle garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne on top and rub in.
- Cut a circle of cheese using a pastry cutter or the rim of a glass. Place cheese onto 1 patty; cover with the other patty. Press edges together carefully. Flip and continue pressing until fully sealed. Season both sides with a little salt.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patty for 5 minutes per side for medium doneness. Place patty on one half of a bun. Top with tomato, lettuce, and the other half of the bun.

Steps:
- Preheat grill to 400°F.
- 1. Place beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and pepper in a bowl; mix well. Portion into eight even units. Shape each portion into a thin round patty that's slightly larger than the cheese slice.
- 2. Fold cheese slices in half twice so you have a little stack of quartered cheese slices. Place a folded cheese stack on 4 the patties, covering cheese with remaining 4 patties.
- 3. Tightly crimp the edges of the patties together to form a tight seal.
- 4. Did you make a tight seal? I hope so, because it needs to be TIGHT to avoid a blowout as the cheese melts, creates steam, and tries to find its way out of its meaty prison.
- 5. Preheat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan to medium heat (or fire up a medium-hot bed of coals on your backyard grill), and cook burgers over heat 3 to 4 minutes on first side. Burger may puff up due to steam from melting cheese. This is normal. Do not be alarmed.
- 6. Flip, and using toothpick, prick top of burger to allow for steam escape. Allow burger to cook 3 to 4 minutes on this side.
- 7. Remove patties from pan or grill. Bun those suckers, slap some condiments on, and dig inches.
JUICY LUCY BURGERS
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!

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

Tips:
- Use high-quality ground beef. The better the beef, the better the burger will be. Look for ground chuck or sirloin that is at least 80% lean.
- Season the beef well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to flavor the beef. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder, cumin, or paprika.
- Mix the beef gently. Overmixing the beef will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Form the burgers into patties. Make the patties about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches in diameter. Be sure to make a well in the center of each patty.
- Stuff the burgers with cheese. Use a variety of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or blue cheese. You can also add other fillings, such as bacon, mushrooms, or onions.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat. Cook the burgers for about 4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the burgers, or they will become dry.
- Let the burgers rest before serving. Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the burgers.
Conclusion:
Stuffed cheeseburgers are a delicious and juicy way to enjoy a classic American dish. By following these tips, you can make perfect stuffed cheeseburgers at home. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
