Description

Juicy Lucy burgers are a delicious twist on classic burgers, featuring beef patties stuffed with melted cheese and tangy pickles. Cooked to perfection in a frying pan, these burgers offer a crispy crust and gooey cheesy center, served inside toasted brioche buns with fresh tomato, lettuce, and your favorite condiments. Ideal for a satisfying homemade burger experience.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Burgers

  • 500g Morrisons Market Street 15% fat beef mince
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose seasoning (such as Dunn’s River)
  • 6–8 cheese slices, chopped
  • 2 large pickles, finely chopped

For Serving

  • 4 brioche burger buns
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Ketchup
  • Mayonnaise
  • French fries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Mixture: Place the beef mince and all-purpose seasoning in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then mix thoroughly with your hands to combine all the flavors evenly.
  2. Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into 8 portions, forming 4 large, very flat patties and 4 slightly smaller patties to serve as burger tops.
  3. Stuff the Burgers: Take a large patty and place a generous amount of chopped cheese and pickles in the center. Top with a smaller patty, then carefully fold the edges of the larger patty around the smaller one, sealing the filling inside completely to form a stuffed burger. Repeat this process for all burgers.
  4. Toast the Buns: Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Place the brioche buns cut side down in the dry pan and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  5. Fry the Burgers: Add half the vegetable oil to the same pan and heat until shimmering. Fry two stuffed patties at a time for 3-4 minutes on each side over medium heat, pressing down gently to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust. The burgers should reach medium doneness with melted cheese inside. Repeat with remaining oil and patties.
  6. Rest the Burgers: Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes. This helps settle the juices and ensures the cheese inside is not dangerously hot.
  7. Assemble and Serve: Fill the toasted brioche buns with the rested patties, tomato slices, lettuce leaves, ketchup, and mayonnaise. Serve immediately with French fries on the side for a full meal.

Notes

  • Ensure the patties are well sealed around the cheese and pickles to avoid leakage during cooking.
  • Use medium heat to cook the patties so the cheese melts properly without burning the outside.
  • Letting the burgers rest before serving helps prevent burns from hot cheese and keeps the burger juicy.
  • Adjust seasoning as desired to enhance flavor to your taste preference.
