"The Jucy Lucy." A fantastic hamburger created in Minneapolis at Matt's over 60 years ago.

Upon presentation - she ain't much for pretty. But, man is this burger flavorful, super juicy and seriously delicious!

Picture this. A piping hot, extra juicy, molten cheese filled garlic beef patty - seated upon extra firm, fresh chilled vegetables. All neatly bedded within soft, yet toasted fluffy buttery garlic buns! Maybe even some grilled onions and mustard and losing the fresh veggies altogether? 🙄 Ahhh! So many possibilities!

Serve burgers with side dishes of your choosing. Also, feel free to employ other low melt cheeses. Believe it or not, Velveeta Cheese is a fantastic option. Yup, my name is Michael and I'm a Liquid Gold Digger!

We typically grill these burgers but winds were too strong today. Anyway, this dish was brought to you by my youngest culinary students. Once again, excellent work kiddos!

    Add everything in the ● For The Patty Fillers. Fold your center cheeses into quartes. Seal both patties edges together tightly. Season patties with dashes of all of your dry seasonings.

    Fry stuffed patties covered for 12 to 15 minutes. Gently flipping every 5 minutes.

  7. 7
