Juicy Lucy (Pork) – Part II

I want to encourage all of you to be creative with recipes. Change it up a bit. When I made the Juicy Lucy with beef it got me to thinking about using different types of meat. Tom and I were talking one night and we came up with this version.

Ingredients:

1 lb ground pork
4 slices onion (minced)
Pepper
Oil
Feta cheese
Rolls

Heat your pan, cook for 6-7 minutes on each side and make sure you don’t press the top of the burger while it’s cooking.

To make this Atkins friendly eat it without bread. Instead add your favorite vegetable and a side salad.

Juicy Lucy – Part I

I watched a cooking show that featured this unique burger called the Juicy Lucy. Who invented it is in dispute, but the taste is not. It originated in South Minneapolis at either the 5-8 Club or Matt’s Bar. While watching the show it didn’t matter to me who invited it, it looked delicious. She I attempted to cook it.

The ingredients are:

1 lb ground beef (makes 3 burgers)
Cheddar & Provolone cheese
Rolls

Cook on each side for 6-7 minutes. Don't press down on the burger (it will plump) and flip it once.

Enjoy the following video presentation:


What’s great about a burger is making it your way. Add the type of cheese you like. I like mixing two different types of cheese but you may only like one. The same goes for the toppings. You can add tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, mushrooms, etc. I find that with the juiciness of this burger – less is better.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment.

*To make this Atkins friendly just lose the bun add your favorite vegetable and a side salad.

Up next is Juicy Lucy Part II - my variation made with pork.
