Grilled or pan-seared to a savory crust, they pair perfectly with classic fixings for an elevated backyard staple.

Cheddar-Stuffed Juicy Lucy Burgers
  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Gently mix to combine, then shape into 8 patties.

  2. 2

    Stack the quartered cheese slices, 6 pieces per burger, in the center of 4 patties. Place a second patty on top of each and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

  3. 3

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Cook the burgers undisturbed on one side for 4 minutes, or until grill marks form and the burgers release easily from the grill. Flip and continue cooking until the centers puff slightly and the other side is browned.

  4. 4

    Serve the burgers on toasted buns with desired toppings.
