How to Cook a Juicy Lucy (or Jucy Lucy) Cheeseburger

By filing the center of the patty with cheese, you get a truly juicy burger, this all gives it a slightly different texture to your usual burger.

Ingredients

Burger Bun
Chuck Steak
Cheddar Cheese
Salt and Pepper
Caramelized Onions
Mustard

Step 1: to Start Off We Need to Make the Patty.

Setup either a mincer or food processor with the cutting blades.

I’m using chuck beef; I find it has great flavour for a burger. Mince the chuck beef. I like my burgers to have a fat ratio of 70% meat to 30% fat, this will give you juicy, tender burgers.

Slice Some Cheese Into Strips.

Slice some cheese into strips. I’m using cheddar but feel free to experiment with different types of cheese.

Take a hand full of the mince and mould the first patty.

Then layer out the cheese in two layers.

Mould the second patty but make this one 10% larger

This will allow you to fold the edge down and seal the cheese inside.

Place them in the fridge for half an hour just to firm up.

Next, You’ll Need to Light a Chimney of Charcoal.

Setup the BBQ for direct grilling.

Now, Place the Patty Over the Charcoal.

Make sure to rotate the patty minute.

Cook for 2 minutes before flipping.

Toast your bun now if you like.

Cover with the lid for 2 minutes for beautiful melted cheese in the centre.

Now it’s time to make this burger.

Place the Patty on the Bun.

Spoon of a layer of caramelized onions.

Then add some mustard to the top half of the bun before placing it on top.
