Jucy Lucy. The spelling is courtesy of Man vs Food on a visit to Minneapolis. A Jucy Lucy is a cheeseburger with the cheese on the inside of the burger - delicious! For a little background look here .
The Jucy Lucy (no I) is the claim of Matt's Bar. whereas the grammatically correct Juicy Lucy is found at the 5-8 Club. One day we will visit both. Oh yes. Each claims to be the inventor, but it will never be proved - Adam Richman of Man vs Food gave his solemn verdict but was unfortunately drowned out by a passing truckful of sound effects techs.
You first need to get hold of some "80-20 chuck". This translates into English as minced beef with the fat percentage at least 20%. Season to your taste.
Then split into quarter pound dollops, which will form the burgers.
Use clingfilm, and make two patties. On top of each other, in case the picture doesn't describe it....
To make it "fairly" even, use a very heavy pan to flatten the burgers. Sam LOVED doing this!
Your burgers won't look as round as MacD's. Don't worry, yours will be pure meat, theirs are full of all manner of other stuff. Yours WILL taste at least a million times better.
Take some American cheese. Quarter a slice and place on the patty. American cheese? It is ANY sliced cheese you can find. No, really! The yellower and plasticer the better.
Put your second burger on top. Crimp the edges VERY tightly.
And whack it in the pan!
Fry, and keep watch on it. The first burger needs to be heated for eight minutes.
Then flip. Cook for another six minutes.
You will be rewarded with this FANTASTIC looking burger phenomena.
Waste no time, and stick it in a bun.
Inside-out cheeseburger heaven....an absolute winner. Thank you Adam Richman.
