Juicy Lucy Burger
The Juicy Lucy is a hamburger made with cheese inside the burger patty. Adding bacon to the ground beef patty makes these the most juicy burgers ever!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 slices bacon, finely chopped
- ½ tbsp worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 cup Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 4 hamburger buns
Optional Toppings
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Ketchup
- Onion
- Pickles
- Mustard
Instructions
- Combine the ground beef, bacon, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Divide this mixture into 8 patties.
- Flatten 4 of the patties and top each of those with ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Flatten out the other 4 patties and place them on top of the patties topped with the cheese. Crimp the edges of the hamburger patties together to form a seal around the cheese.
- Place on a grill or in a skillet on the stove over medium heat. Grill for 6-8 minutes, flip and grill for an additional 6-8 minutes.
- Toast the buns on the grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the burgers and place them on the buns, add the optional toppings of your choice.
Notes
- Slightly freeze the bacon slices first, 30-60 minutes in the freezer will do. This will make the bacon easier to finely chop. You can also ask your butcher to grind the bacon for you.
- If cooking these burgers in a skillet on the stove, use a cast iron skillet or other heavy bottomed skillet, if available.
- These burgers are less than 1 carb per burger when served without the bun, making them low carb and keto compliant.
