Juicy Lucy Burger

Ingredients:

• 1lb ground beef
• 4 slices of cheese (such as cheddar or American)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 hamburger buns
• Optional toppings: tomato slices, lettuce, onions, condiments

Instructions:

1. Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions and form into thin patties.
2. Place a slice of cheese on 4 of the patties.
3. Top each cheese-covered patty with another patty and press around the edges to seal.
4. Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper.
5. Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
7. If using a skillet, cover with a lid for the last couple of minutes of cooking to help melt the cheese.
8. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a separate skillet.
9. Place each patty on a bun and add desired toppings.
10. Serve and enjoy your Juicy Lucy Burger!
