Top each of the larger patties with a slice each of American and habanero (or pepperjack) cheese. I say YES. Have you ever had a Juicy Lucy? If not, you’re in for a wonderful surprise! You make a Juicy Lucy by sealing cheese around a couple of ground beef patties. As you cook the burgers, the cheese gets wonderfully melty and gooey inside, making it quite the ‘juicy" experience. American cheese is traditional, though you can use whatever cheese you’d like. As for toppings, typical burger condiments are traditional, such as ketchup, mustard, onion, pickles, though again, you’re free to use whatever toppings you’d like. Let’s talk about how we make the burgers, shall we? Form 12 thin patties with the seasoned ground beef. 6 of them should be slightly larger, to form the base. I like to use a burger press for this process. Grill or pan sear the burgers in a bit of olive oil at medium high heat a few minutes per side, until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked through to your preference. A cast iron pan is good for this, too. Next, top each of the stuffed burgers with the smaller patties and hand form the meat around the cheese. You should still have 6 burger-shaped patties. BOOM! DONE! That’s it, my friends. Easy, right? And spicy! And nice and gooey and cheesy! So many superlatives with this recipe. I can’t get enough of them. While the burgers are cooking, grill or pan sear the jalapeno and serrano peppers about 10 minutes, rolling a bit to get each side of the skins, until the skins char up and blacken. Learn more about How to Roast Peppers. Serve the burgers onto buns topped with sliced peppers, ranchero sauce or hot sauce, and your favorite toppings. Got any questions? Ask away! I’m happy to help.
