Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1 tablespoon sriracha, plus more if desired and for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces sharp Cheddar, chopped into small pieces (or shredded)
Flavorless oil, such as canola or vegetable, for the grill
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the buns
4 brioche or potato buns
1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
Mayonnaise, such as Kewpie, for serving
4 leaves butter or iceberg lettuce, for serving
4 thick slices tomato, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the beef, 1 tablespoon sriracha (or more if you're feeling spicy), 1 teaspoon salt and a few good turns of pepper in a large bowl. Mix with your hands to combine, being careful not to overmix. Divide into 4 parts, roll into balls and create a large divot in the center of each. Fill each divot with an equal amount of cheese. Seal in the cheese and press into patties. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Lightly oil a cast-iron pan or grill and heat over medium-high heat. Grill the burgers to desired doneness, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Lightly butter the buns. Grill the buns until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and melt. Add the onions and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • To serve: I like this order: bun, large squiggle of mayo, lettuce, tomato, meat, smiley face of sriracha, onions, bun. Enjoy!

JUICY LUCY BURGERS



Juicy Lucy Burgers image

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.
