The Juicy Lucy burger is one that takes you by surprise. It looks unassuming from the outside, but hidden deep within its stuffed patty is a core of molten cheese just waiting to gush out. Get some napkins and the roasted broccoli ready for refreshing yourself between bites of cheddar-filled, beefy decadence.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Roast Broccoli
1

Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Cut broccoli florets into 1-inch pieces, if necessary. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Place garlic in the center of a small piece of foil; cinch into a packet and place on same sheet. Roast until broccoli is tender and garlic is softened, 15-20 minutes.

Make Tomato Onion Jam
2

Meanwhile, halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Dice tomato. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tomato, half the vinegar (all the vinegar for 4), and 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until soft and jammy, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat; remove jam from pan and set aside. Wipe out pan.

Form Patties
3

In a medium bowl, combine beef, half the Fry Seasoning (all for 4 servings), ½ tsp salt (1 tsp for 4), and pepper. Form mixture into two wide, roughly ½-inch-thick rounds (four rounds for 4). Divide cheddar between centers of each round. Fold edges of meat around cheddar, shaping and sealing to create cheese-stuffed patties, each slightly wider than a burger bun.

Cook Patties
4

Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for jam over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side.

Toast Buns and Make Sauce
5

While patties cook, halve buns; toast until golden brown. Once garlic is done, remove from foil and mash with a fork until smooth. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and mashed garlic. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve
6

Spread buns with ketchup and a thin layer of sauce. Fill with patties and top with tomato onion jam. Divide burgers and broccoli between plates. Serve with any remaining sauce on the side for dipping.

I give this 10*s. Very yummy. In my burgers I did season with a couple of shake of low salt Montréal steak seasoning and a squirt of mayo. The garlic clove you sent was so tiny and not much was roasted so I did supplement with some shakes of garlic powder. The onion jam was so delicious, there was a spoonful left and yes I had to eat it all by itself.

These were so delicious they should be called Juicy Messy Lucy Burgers. Loved them. Although the bun was hard as a ROCK by the time I cooked this meal which was less then 4 days after receiving. Tried to put them in the oven but burned them so we had to use bread but they were still sooo good.

I have never had Tomato Onion Jam. I don't even like onions. When I made this Onion Jam and tasted it, wow, that is some good stuff! Even better on the Burger. Hello Fresh, your food is sooo good! I will be buying more. I have not found one single dinner that I do not like. Thank you Hello Fresh!

Burgers tasted like restaurant quality. I really enjoy the extra attention to the layers of flavor. We really don't care for roasted broccoli so we steamed it instead

The name says it! So juicy, but the flavor combination of the carmalized onions and tomatoes with the oozy cheese I'm the center of the burger - WOW!

This was pretty good. The bun wasn't as fresh and tasty as the ones I've had before from Hello Fresh. I liked the switch to broccoli instead of fries. It's a good burger with the combination of tomato jam and mayonnaise mixture. I feel that a different cheese might add more flavor.

I love that it was served with broccoli instead of potatoes. I shy away from the burgers most of the time because they are heavy with the potatoes and I end up wasting some of the food. They are always tasty, but are too large a portion for me.

Such a cool idea to stuff the burgers with cheese... great seasoning! My husband and i loved the burger and the broccoli.

Broccoli doesn't really go with a hamburger. The amount of meat for each patty, 5 ounces, was not enough to make a hamburger with cheese in the middle. The tomato onion jam was really good. Your fries seasoning is excellent.
