The Juicy Lucy Burger is an amazing burger that is stuffed with cheese! Surprise your guests at your next cookout or BBQ when they bite into their burger.
The Juicy Lucy was born in a bar in Minneapolis. The burger is made by sandwiching slices of cheddar cheese between two patties of meat. The cheese melts as the burger cooks and it helps keep the burger really juicy! Thus the name!
This perfectly juicy cheese burger is a crowd favorite. And it is pretty simple to make. Give it a try and you will never go back to a regular cheeseburger.
Ingredients Needed
- Hamburger
- Cheddar Cheese
- Salt and Pepper
- Favorite Burger Toppings – ketchup, mustard, pickles, tomato, onion, and lettuce.
