Juicy Lucy (or Jucy Lucy) Cheeseburger Recipe

[@azriha]

Love how you're so meticulous about the entire process. Measuring everything down to a T. I made this for my gf, and she absolutely loved it.

[@brutevilgax777]

You can't make these burgers wrong. I still remember making these for a party with my roommates and they were the juiciest, most delicious burgers ever. Minnesota pride!

[@ericgalyean9051]

Best patty forming I've ever seen

[@Avellar3000]

To avoid cheese blowout, poke a small hole in the top after flipping.

[@killval849]

ahh excellent idea, I'm sure people that don't make these often appreciate this tip sir, I actually do this quite frequently when cooking hot dogs as well.

[@johnsheehan977]

Not necessary. Will make all the juice run out! Not a good idea

[@LosKonfleis]

Best video ever! No annoying music on background! Clean and simple! Love your bbq videos bro! Will have to try this one!

[@TROYCOOKS]

I'd be all over that BBQ Juicy Lucy!!! Fabulous video Chef Tom!!!! And thanks again for the hospitality recently! It was great hanging out with you brother! Let me know if you are ever in Austin!!! We can get together for another cook!!!

[@allthingsbbq]

Thanks Troy! Next time we're in the area we'll absolutely reach out.

[@redwhitentrue]

Is this a recipe for restaurants or home? People do NOT have meat grinders at home people.

[@mikehawk2148]

redwhitentrue speak for yourself, I've got a meat grinder at home

[@redwhitentrue]

Mike Hawk How many people do you think have an industrial meat grinder at home and a scale like that? I mean really? I have spoken for myself. BTW your name is the most UNoriginal thing I could have ever crapped out of my 12 year-old brain. Do your parents know you have internet access??? I doubt it.

[@mikehawk2148]

redwhitentrue hahahahaha that's great, I have a hand-cranked meat grinder at home, you didn't specify what type so, as for the name I got it when I was 12, haven't changed it cause I mean, what's the point in that? Have a great day

[@IanLEAU]

All this talk about "who did it first" is irrelevant - All I care about is "who does it best"

Just binge watched 50 episodes thanks for sharing so many ideas and recipes I most def learned a lot today.

[@FrenchieFrench1555]

I LOVE ALL OF YOUR RECIPES ANS VIDEOS. I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE WAY YOU TEACH/EXPLAIN EVERY THING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@DanBlabbers]

Great quality video and it looks good. But as a Minneapolis native I would say that the Matt’s bar jucy lucy authentic is different in that the cheese is liquified and mixed with the meat juices. I think the Patties are very thin and molded together. You have to approach the burger completely differently. Typically you don’t want to overwork the meat or overcook it. In a traditional jucy lucy I believe you make it thin then really work the patty so it is tough enough to hold the cheese longer and cook it until the cheese is beyond melted it’s almost watery with beef fat. Like a runny yoke egg sort of? I would recommend trying that and see how it’s different.

[@Mr-qt4xr]

Looks amazing, you cant beat a cheeseburger, best comfort food. I think american cheese is the best cheese for a burger or at least processed cheese because it melts so well in a way only processed cheese can. Food snobs say go for cheddar but its oily when melted and has a strong flavour.

[@leandroregisduarte5250]

Hi Chef Tom, I'm from Brazil. I love your recipes and your technics. Thanks for share your knowledge with us. Sorry about my english. Regards.

No worries on your English, we can't speak/type a lick of Portuguese. :) Thanks for watching!

Iv put chopped bacon in the middle of mine with a smoked sharp cheddar that was pretty good

[@allthingsbbq]

Nice, we'll have to try that.

[@dannymartinez8522]

Butcher shop down the road used to carry jalapeño habanero cheddar cheese. Was the best cheese around

[@blackruby41]

Looks great! I am always up for a new way to make a good burger so I will give it a try tonight.

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Sup, made this awesome burger Everytime I get smoked Gouda, I recently topped with American cheese also, amazing, glad found video again, tyvm

Great recipe bud!

[@cooleycat89]

As a proud Minnesotan, I approve of these burgers. They look mouth watering.

[@chrisvanacore9024]

Thanks for this video. I am definitely going to try my own version of this very soon. I also like the variations of toppings you can use. I will try the cabbage slaw, looks so delicious. Thanks again, Chef Tom !!

[@Goianoesmeraldino]

A classic of American burger culture.

[@m.w.6526]

Yessir, invented in Minneapolis, Minnesota

[@sneakeey1]

Those burgers looked amazing! I do grind sometimes but I really like to hand chop my burgers. I think the texture and mouth feel is much better! Great video. Thanks for sharing this!

[@AlexLasoTecladistaOficial]

I made these babies with 93/7 with the same recipe (I've added a few secrets😏) same weight and same instructions, except I pan fried mine because I'm poor. They came out beautiful even with lean meat and pan fried! 😀 Thank you for the awesome recipe 👌 Keep it up!!!

Love watching your videos and this is the best so far...can't beat a classic burger!

"house made GRILLED pickles" you can't just throw that out there with out a link to the recipe brotha

That recipe is coming later this year. Chef Eric Gephart of Kamado Joe helped put that one together with Travis Russel of Public at the Brickyard.

What meat grinder do y'all use on your videos? I know it's a LEM but what model? Thanks. And keep up the great work chef Tom!!!

[@rashidaraza7581]

Great video with such detailed instructions!

[@mahmelhaud]

People here in Minneapolis argue Matt's vs 5-8, but the best Juicy Lucy is found at The Nook or Blue Door. The originals are great, but the students have become the teachers. Seriously, if you're ever in Minneapolis, check them out.

[@briandaniels8856]

The Nook.....Total agree with you.

[@andrewtutunjian7972]

Matt's is the best

[@dudeist_priest]

I only had it at Loop's there, and it was amazing. Can't find em back home!

[@fil4776]

I am a fan of both Matt's and The Nook. FYI you must add grilled onions to complete the jucy Lucy!

[@BK-qx6pl]

The Nook is awesome!

[@debbyvoisin5471]

oh my, they look sooooo gooooood, you just made me soooo hungry!!!!!!

[@timothydishneau464]

Born in Minneapolis. Matts bar and the 58 club are still fighting over who done it first. Looks great.

[@Lindamorena]

What type of knife did you cut the chuck cut with? Thank you.

[@scottwhitley3392]

In Scotland we have 2 burgers with cheese in between then battered and deep fried

[@allthingsbbq]

*heavy breathing*

[@Joggingbuxe]

This guy clearly knows what he's doing. All of the patties look the same, detailed background info and obviously a fckin nice burger🍻

[@bo0tsy1]

for the home viewer, mash the patty between two 5 inch saucers, stack em'. Honestly shap to the edge of a 5" small (salad) plate. They shrink to fit the store buns.

[@FurryWooki]

Speaking of which - what would be a good grinder to have at home for occasional use?

[@Noobish588]

Chef Tom your food looks amazing

[@fredstone9016]

Nice to watch a vidja of my home town classic!! KUDOS!

[@smug8567]

Incredible! I completely agree, my family is always turning their noses up at prime steaks that get a little bit oxidised

[@Maryam0992]

I'm glad I discovered your channel. One Question: Why did you put the spice mix on top and not just mix it in with the mince? Is this for texture (the crust)? From Dubai, UAE.

[@miriamlima6528]

Chef Tom you are amazing! Love u recipes! Please keep the good work! (Sorry for the bad english)

[@kahhiiodiabo5671]

I would like to see a review of some meat grinders that are accessible to the home cook. ones that aren't too big nor too pricey.

[@allthingsbbq]

We have some meat grinder overview videos planned. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@kahhiiodiabo5671]

allthingsbbq thanks, I have been looking for a grinder but have been overwhelmed with the selection and am not sure what to look for.

[@VishnuVadlamudiV]

Kahhiio Diabo I think you can do a Kitchen aid with a meat grinder attachment.

[@aaron2414]

My wife bought me a kitchen aid attachment, works pretty well for the price. It doesn't grind all the meat because some gets stuck in the spiral part...but I've made some damn good Ribeye burgers with it

[@time2go265]

i use a old hand crank grinder i got at savers for 10 bucks... you can hook a drill up to it if your feeling lazy haha

[@RedlineR1S]

Matt's Bar. The first and the best. If you're ever in Minneapolis, its a must visit.

[@lynettedundon1410]

A work of art! And cooked perfectly! ❤️👍

[@lemiwatts4275]

Minnesota has the best food in the world

[@johnsheehan977]

How so? Didn't even think Minnesota was on the map as far as Foods concerned.guess minnesotans have lot of fish. I know that's where Andrew Zimmern lives.🤔🤔

[@fedorkochemasov4533]

One of my favourite burgers actually. More cheese - more happiness. Cheese is awesome

[@stevec7990]

Hey doing a good job ..but what's in the beef rub?cheers

[@freekdl]

Really liked your video and learned a few things from it, but I have one question! I see you cook them on a griddle while you have a direct coal fire next to it, this confuses me. Do you still get the same 'fire grilled flavour' with this indirect method? Thanks!

[@allthingsbbq]

There's no coal. This is a pellet fired grill he's cooking on and the fire is directly beneath the griddle. Thanks for watching!

[@williamtheconqueror3476]

I have burgers from both Matt's and 58 Club and yours looks exceedingly better! It's night and day! Well done!

[@kitty62862]

Thank you for the Michelin Star demo of the assembly. I’m going to try this with cheddar, and fresh cooked bacon bits. Brush the buns with barbecue sauce after toasting, and put sautéed onions on both sides. Swap out the Worcestershire for A-1 sauce 😉

[@rickrizzo1152]

What model (horsepower) LEM meat grinder are you using in this video?

[@ivse9696]

Looks really awesome - I will copy these burgers

[@allthingsbbq]

Do it!

[@RichGrueber]

That first burger looked great but the BBQ Juicy Lucy looked gouda :-D

[@Dngleberrie]

Are you using deli-style (deluxe) American cheese or something like Kraft Singles?

[@douglong5211]

STFD!!! Looks way too good. Gonna have to try.

[@shadabaliakbara]

can it be made and freezed for later use?

[@MrKLAZLA]

What kind of grinder do you recommend?

[@firefire9014]

looks good fella. greets from germany

[@Xeongui]

My Mom used to make those for us kids when we were kids, only she called them SURPRISE BURGERS, some would have cheese, some would have baked beans, and other fillings, I'm 72 years old now, so that must have been 60 or so years ago. You can call them what you want, to me they'll always be SURPRISE BURGERS. Jucy (Juicy) Lucy, sounds like an overworked streetwalker.

[@johnsheehan977]

Wow!never thought to do smoked Gouda. I usually go for the great Cheddar's and Blue cheeses that are available when I'm thinking burger. Will have to try! Happy eating!✌

[@wagz2003]

Oh yum! I'm from Eastern SD, so not far from MSP, and man! This makes me want to go home just for a burger!

Tom, A great take on the classic Jucy Lucy from Matt's Bar. YES JUCY.... But need to agree with Salem, The Nook in St Paul has perfected it. Best Burger in Mpls/St.P 4 years running

[@to3mcaldwell]

I now know what "food porn" means. I feel kinda dirty about how excited these burgers made me. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@allthingsbbq]

Ha! Thanks for watching!

[@joeyrvv]

Where do I find a video of the house made grilled pickles??

[@joelbrokaw6423]

So no salt or other binding agent needed to keep the beef patty/patties together? Or does the cheese stuffing do that?

[@benjendersen]

Joel Brokaw it is the fat/muscle ratio of chuck. It is perfect for burgers, and you can literally just use the meat and seasoning, and it will hold together with no binders.

[@esmith1225]

Great video. Love your channel. You do a real nice job.

[@umiluv]

So true about American cheese... sometimes it's just absolutely delicious. Also, thanks for the recipe! Will have to try this at home. I don't have a meat grinder but I've seen videos where people partially freeze the chuck and then use a food processor to grind. Or I can always ask the butcher to grind some chuck for me.

[@allthingsbbq]

We would suggest having your butcher grind it up. It will give you a better result.

[@umiluv]
