For the best results, use a high-quality ground beef with a good fat content (80/20 is ideal) to ensure a juicy and flavorful burger. Be meticulous when sealing the edges of the patties to prevent the cheese from leaking out during cooking. A tight seal is key to a successful Juicy Lucy. Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese! Pepper jack, cheddar, or even a smoked gouda can add a unique twist to this classic burger. Serve immediately to enjoy the full molten cheese experience.
