How to Make a Jucy Lucy Burger

How to make a Juicy Lucy 🍔 .

I’ve seen this burger for awhile and have always wanted to make one, so I finally gave it a try on my @charbroilgrills and it certainly did not disappoint. Here’s how I made it:

Ingredients
• 1 ½ - 2 lbs. ground beef (80%/20%)
• 2 T SPG rub of choice
• 6 slices American cheese, quartered
• ¼ C BBQ sauce
• Leaf lettuce
• 1 tomato, sliced
• ½ C pre-fried onion rings
• Hamburger buns

For the Burgers:
1. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-low, leaving one burner off for indirect cooking.
2. Shape the Patties: Remove the ground beef from its packaging and knead gently until well combined. Divide the meat into portions (about ¼ lb each), aiming for 4–6 meatballs from a 1–1½ lb package.
3. Stuff the Burgers: Flatten one meatball into a thin patty. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic rub on all sides. Place a slice of cheese in the center. Flatten another meatball into a patty, season, and lay it over the first. Seal the edges tightly to encase the cheese completely. Repeat with the remaining ground beef.
4. Grill the Burgers: Place the stuffed patties over the indirect heat burner on the grill. Cook for about 15 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the burgers are cooked through. Move the patties to direct heat, top with a slice of cheese, and let it melt. Once the cheese is gooey, remove the burgers from the grill and set aside.
To Finish:
1. Assemble the Burgers: Toast your hamburger buns, then spread a generous layer of BBQ sauce on the bottom bun. Add your favorite toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, or more cheese), and place the hot Juicy Lucy patty on top. Add more BBQ sauce and a handful of crispy fried onions for the perfect finishing touch. Serve & enjoy!
