Grilled Jucy Lucy Burgers Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 2 slices white bread (put through a blender to form fresh bread crumbs)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pepper to taste
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 1 thick slice of White American Cheese-divided into 4 pieces (about 1/2 inch thick-I had the Deli slice it. it turned out to be 1 inch instead but that thickness still worked fine.)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl using your hands’ mix together the burger, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and fresh bread crumbs. Divide the burger into 4 equal portions.
  2. Divide these portions into two and form a ball, like you are making a large meatball. Flatten one portion down while inserting a chunk of the American cheese into it forming a mini patty.
  3. Encase the mini burger with the other have of the burger; seal the edges and flatten. You will have a 3/4 to the 1-inch patty. Repeat the process until all 4 burgers are completed; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. I did not try it but the original recipe says they can be made and refrigerated up to 24 hours in advance.
  5. Preheat grill on high and lightly oil grill grates. Reduce the heat to medium and grill the burgers covered until dark brown on one side – this should take about 8 minutes.
  6. Flip the burgers and continue grilling for another 8 minutes or until done. Just before the burgers are finished cooking place the buns on the grill sliced side down to lightly toast them.
  7. Serve with your choice of condiments
