Juicy Lucy Burger
From Nicole Iizuka, POPSUGAR Food
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (10% fat content), chilled
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
8 slices American cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Burger fixings:
4 hamburger buns
1 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 tablespoon mustard
2 lettuce leaves
4 tomato slices
1 avocado, sliced
8 pickle slices
Directions
- Start with very chilled ground beef. Place meat in a large bowl and mix in worcestershire sauce until just combined. Divide the meat into 8 equal portions, and using your hands, form into very thin, 1/4-inch patties that are about 5 inches in diameter.
- Fold American cheese into quarters to make a short stack. Repeat with the remaining cheese. Then take a burger patty and place 2 pieces of folded cheese into the center of the patty. Lay a second patty on top and press down on the edges to seal the burger well. You might even fold the edges over just a bit to make sure the seam is closed. Repeat with remaining burgers.
- After the patties are formed, season liberally with salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Place patties in the refrigerator while your skillet or grill pan heats up.
- Bring a skillet with vegetable oil to medium-high heat, and place burger patties on the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is browned and crisp, being careful to not press down on the burger patty. Use a spatula to carefully flip the burgers and then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the outside is well browned. Remove from the skillet.
- Assemble the burgers with ketchup, mayonnaise, a little mustard, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and pickles. Serve immediately.
