Indulge in the Juicy Lucy, a cheese-stuffed burger oozing with molten cheddar for a truly satisfying bite.
Ingredients:
  • 6 ounces ground beef
  • 4 drops Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
  • 3 pinches garlic powder
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • kosher salt to taste
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 slice Cheddar cheese
  • 1 hamburger bun, split
  • 1 slice tomato
  • 1 leaf lettuce
Instructions:
  • Form two 3-ounce beef balls and shape them into 1/4-inch thick patties. Drizzle Worcestershire sauce over patties and gently massage it in. Sprinkle garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne over the patties and massage them in.
  • Use a pastry cutter or the rim of a glass to cut a circle of cheese. Place the cheese on one patty, cover with the other patty, press the edges together carefully, flip, and continue pressing until fully sealed. Season both sides with a sprinkle of salt.
  • Preheat a cast iron skillet until sizzling. Sear patty for 5 minutes on each side for a juicy medium doneness. Serve the patty on a bun with tomato, lettuce, and the top bun.
