Juicy Lucy: The Gooey Stuffed Cheeseburger

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1-2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning Blend

  * SEE NOTES
• 6 slices American cheese
• 6 slices habanero cheese

  or use pepperjack cheese
• 3 jalapeno peppers
• 3 serrano peppers

Instructions

• 1 Mix your Cajun seasonings into the ground beef. Hand mix to incorporate, but do
  not overmix.
• 2 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.
• 3 Top each of the larger patties with a slice each of American and habanero (or
  pepperjack) cheese.
• 4 Next, top each of the stuffed burgers with the smaller patties and hand form the
  meat around the cheese. You should still have burger-shaped patties.
• 5 Grill or pan sear the burgers in a bit of olive oil a few minutes per side,
  until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked through to your
  preference. Remove from heat and let the burgers rest a couple minutes to let
  the cheeses relax.
• 6 When the burgers are coooking, 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. Slice them into rings and discard the stems.
• 7 Serve the burgers onto buns topped with sliced peppers, ranchero sauce or hot
  sauce, and your favorite toppings.
