Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20)
• 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (block, not pre-shredded)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 4 hamburger buns
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup toppings (lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, etc.)
• 3 tablespoons ketchup and mustard

Directions

Step 1

Divide the ground beef into eight equal portions, approximately 3 ounces each. Roll each into a ball and then flatten into thin patties about 4-5 inches in diameter.

Step 2

Cut the sharp cheddar cheese into four pieces, about 1 ounce each. Flatten the cheese slightly to form a small square or compact shape that will fit in the center of the patty.

Step 3

Place one piece of cheese in the center of a patty. Top with another patty and carefully seal the edges by pinching them together. Ensure no cheese is exposed to prevent leaking during cooking.

Step 4

Season both sides of each stuffed burger with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the unsalted butter and swirl to coat.

Step 6

Place the burgers on the skillet or grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, until a crust forms. Flip carefully and cook for another 4-5 minutes, ensuring an internal temperature of at least 160°F is reached for food safety.

Step 7

While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns in a separate pan or on the grill until golden brown.

Step 8

Assemble each burger: Place a cooked Juicy Lucy on the bottom bun. Add your desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Drizzle with ketchup and mustard, then cover with the top bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy the molten, cheesy goodness!
