…..and a sprinkle of love

What, you may ask, could possibly be more indulgent and delicious then a melty gooey cheese stuffed  burger?  Perhaps 2 melty gooey cheese stuffed burgers ;)This is definitely not your average cheeseburger.  This is a fry em up and WOW them kinda burger. My kids say they are magic. Try them out an see for yourself…….I double dare ya!

You are going to need 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (I am using 85/15) 1 large onion, 1 package of button mushrooms, 6-8 (or more) slices of cheese (I used 3 slices of American and 3 slices of Swiss) use your favorites, pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and olive oil.

Start of by washing your mushrooms. Chop the onion and mushrooms. Add 1-2 Tablespoons of olive oil in pan and heat on medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot add the mushrooms and onions.

Cook 7-8 minutes or until the onions and mushrooms are tender and caramelized. Stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat when finished cooking.

To prepare the Juicy Lucy’s, put your ground beef, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp pepper and 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Mix well. start forming into thin uniform sized patties. You will be stacking the cheese in between 2 patties so you’ll want them to be thin enough so that they cook quickly and evenly. I was able to get 4 regular sized burgers plus 2 small burgers from the ground beef.

Break each cheese slice into 4 pieces.

Stack the desired number of cheese slices on top of the first patty ( I used between 6-8 squares). Place the second patty on top of the cheese and pinch seams together really well so that the cheese can’t escape the burger.

I am using a large electric griddle set at between 325-350 degrees. You could also fry in a pan over medium heat or on grill. I cooked for 7 minutes each side. We like our meat well done.

Here is what they look like on the flip. When finished place burger on a bun and top with your onion and mushroom mixture. Serve with the rest of your favorite burger fixings. I would suggest you wait a few minutes before biting into your burger, it will be hot! Enjoy!
