A favorite of Minnesotans! The famous Juicy Lucy! Mmmm. So good. You MUST use American cheese on this to achieve the juiciness in the middle! I like sauteed mushrooms and onions on mine!

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ pounds ground beef
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
¾ teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices American cheese (such as Kraft®)
4 hamburger buns, split

Steps:

  • Combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Form 8, thin patties from the beef. Each patty should be slightly larger than a slice of cheese.
  • Cut each slice of American cheese into 4 equal pieces; stack the pieces. Sandwich one stack of cheese between 2 ground beef patties. Tightly pinch edges together tightly seal the cheese within the meat. Repeat with the remaining cheese and patties.
  • Preheat a cast-iron or other heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat. Cook burgers until well browned, about 4 minutes. It is common for burgers to puff up due to steam from the melting cheese. Turn burgers and prick the top of each to allow steam to escape; cook until browned on the outside and no longer pink on the inside; about 4 minutes. Serve on hamburger buns.

CHEF JOHN'S LOCO MOCO



Chef John's Loco Moco image

This amazing Hawaiian comfort food classic is made by topping rice with a fried burger, which is then smothered with a rich, brown gravy and finished with a fried egg. Seriously, how did it take until 1949 for someone to think of this combination? We all get hangry sometimes, so whether you're a broke student or an older professional who just wishes you were, this cheap, filling bowl of goodness is the perfect solution. Garnish with green onions.

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 (4 ounce) patties ground beef
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 ½ cups beef stock
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 drops sesame oil, or to taste
2 teaspoons ketchup
2 teaspoons white sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, divided
2 tablespoons minced green onions, white and light green parts only
2 eggs
2 cups hot cooked white rice

Steps:

  • Season patties with salt, pepper, and cayenne.
  • Whisk beef stock, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil, ketchup, sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patty in the hot skillet until a browned crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip; toss in green onions and cook the other side until both beef and onions are browned, 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove patty and most of the green onions to a plate.
  • Pour beef stock mixture into the skillet. Stir, scraping up browned bits from the bottom, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and reserve gravy until needed.
  • Melt remaining butter in another skillet over medium heat. Add eggs to the skillet and fry side-by-side until whites are set and yolks are still runny.
  • Divide rice between 2 serving bowls. Place patties over the rice, spoon gravy on top, and add the fried eggs.

MOLTEN CHEESE JUICY LUCY



Molten Cheese Juicy Lucy image

Two spots in Minneapolis claim to be the birthplace of the cheese-stuffed Juicy Lucy. The 5-8 Club says it came up with the idea in the 1950s, while nearby Matt's Bar & Grill says that in 1954, a customer requested the creation and exclaimed "That's one juicy Lucy!" after trying it. The rule for eating one is universal: Wait before taking a bite to avoid burning your mouth on molten cheese!
