Juicy Lucys

Jeremy and I made our own Juicy Lucys tonight for dinner with some farmers market sweet corn. Don't know what a Juicy Lucy is? Well, your not alone...we saw the Juicy Lucy on the T.V. show, Man vs. Food on travel channel. It is a hamburger patty with the cheese in the middle originating at a restaurant in Minneapolis. We also topped our Juicy Lucy's with some leftover roasted Hatch chili peppers. Here is the recipe if you would like to make your own Juicy Lucy:



Homemade Juicy Lucy's with Hatch green chilies: Serves 2

1 lb of ground beef
A handful of your favorite cheese, we used cheddar cheese.


Heat up your grill. Quarter your ground beef. Take one quarter and pat the meat out into a patty but make a little bowl for the cheese. Place a handful of cheese in the bowl you made in the patty. Top your patty with cheese with another patted out quarter of meat. Pinch the two patties together to make sure the cheese is all inside the hamburger patty and that your meat is pinched together enough so it won't fall apart on the grill. Repeat. Grill your hamburger patties until well done. Serve with toasted buns and your favorite hamburger toppings. We topped them with roasted Hatch green chilies and about set our mouths on fire.
