Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 ounces ground beef
- ¼ teaspoon burger seasoning
- 1 slice American cheese
Juicy Lucy Extras
- 1 hamburger bun
- Optional Toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles
- Optional Sauces: mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish and set aside.
- Season the ground beef. In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef with the burger seasoning.
- Form the patties. Divide the beef in half, shape into balls, and flatten each into a thin patty.
- Add the cheese. Cut the cheese into 4 squares and place them in the center of one patty, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Seal the burger. Place the second patty on top and press the edges together to seal the cheese inside.
- Bake the burger. Transfer the patty to the baking dish and bake for 30 minutes.
- Rest and assemble. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve on a bun with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Use cold ground beef—it’s easier to shape.
- Cut the cheese into 4 pieces and overlap them in the center of the patty, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Press the edges of the patties together tightly to seal in the cheese.
- Don’t press down on the burger while it bakes—this can cause juices and cheese to leak out.
