Brisket Juicy Lucy - The World's Food

The World's Food

Yield: 4-6

Time: 30 minutes

Insanely delicious brisket twist on the popular regional burger from Minnesota with melted cheese inside the patty

2 pounds freshly ground brisket trimmings with 20% fat

1/4 pound cheese (Tillamook cheddar, sharp white cheddar, American, Swiss)

4-8 hamburger buns

1 kosher dill pickle, sliced

1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1/8 teaspoon pepper, or to taste

Step 1
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stove top

Step 2
For each burger, form two 1/4-pound ground brisket patties and place cheese inside. Do not overwork the brisket meat

Step 3
Place the second patty on top of the first patty with the cheese and press the edges of the patties together so they seal well

Step 4
Place the patty in the smoking hot skillet and season with salt and pepper

Step 5
Cook each side 3-4 minutes or until a nice char develops and the meat is cooked through

Step 6
Remove the patty from the skillet and set aside

Step 7
Brown the hamburger buns in the skillet

Step 8
Assemble the Juicy Lucy by first placing the pickles on the bottom bun, then the patty, and lastly the top bun

Step 9
Serve with toppings of your choice, fries, salad, coleslaw, baked beans, potato salad

This is my variation of the popular regional Juicy Lucy burger from Minnesota.

To grind the brisket trimmings, use the medium sized grinding plate.
