Healthy LCHF juicy cheddar stuffed burgers (AKA Juicy Lucy) recipe for two. Take your ordinary burgers to the next level by stuffing them with cheddar for a gooey center, and topping them with crispy bacon, onion and a dollop of spicy burger sauce. All placed on a lettuce leaf served with fried haricot verts. No bun needed. Seriously the best grilled burgers you’ll ever make for yourself at home! Looks fantastic too.
How to Stuff a Burger
A stuffed burger may seem magical, but making one isn’t as difficult as you think. The trick here is to keep the same thickness of meat above and below the cheese. This will ensure even cooking and it will help keep the cheese inside the burger during cooking.
To form stuffed hamburgers, press your thumbs into the center of one of the balls and press down to form a depression. This is the space where you will place your stuffing, so make sure the walls are high enough to contain your cheese while still keeping a thick base. Once you fill the depression with your stuffing, pinch the meat together with your fingers to close the patty.
These are pretty monster sized burgers so I normally make a medium heat fire because they need a little time to cook. If you have a high heat you may sear the outside but the cheese may not melt too well and you can burn the tops/bottoms. These cheese stuffed cheeseburgers are easier to cook than normal burgers because the very center is cheese, not meat, so its harder to undercook the burger.
