I just made them. I’ve been living away from Minnesota for a few years so this was a great recipe to get a taste of home! I used mushrooms and onions to keep it moist and used soy sauce instead of Worcestershire Sauce and added some cumin. Thanks!

Rod, how cool is that? Grandson of the inventor of Juicy Lucy! I’d get a T-shirt made!

The story I hear is, my grandpa was the cook at Matt’s in Minneapolis, and came up with the Juicy Lucy…..I think the story is still up on the wall in a newspaper article…

I did a version in a H.S. cooking class in 1990, and was praised at the flavor, and uniqueness….They never heard of it yet….lol

I make these at home on the grill quite often. Never tried chilling them down before cooking though, gonna have to try that. I had one at the 5-8 club one night…..worst burger I’ve ever had in my life. Dry, overdone, flat, and the cheese was as far from “oozzing” as you could get. I’ve heard Matt’s bar is the best place to get one, gonna have to try ‘em out sometime.

Linda, I haven’t made burgers on a foreman grill before but I imagine it would work very well, and cook in the same way as most burgers. My only other guess would be don’t press down on too hard, otherwise all the cheese might ooze out and make a mess.

I’m in college so we don’t have a grill handy, but how would these work on the foreman grill???

I love the idea for the onions, I will try it next time. I personally started making these a few years back, unknowing that they existed. I use different seasonings that I preffer and soy sauce not werchsertsercser whatever sauce. I will also mix in mustard and an egg to the mix for flavor and bonding. The cheese of choice is either Cream Cheese or Blue Cheese. My buddy crisps bacon and chopps it and mixes it into the meat as well, it is also great.

Fabulous recipe! Brilliant idea to mix spinach (or onion, mushrooms) into the beef. I love to brush even more Worcestershire sauce mixed with melted butter and a squeeze of lemon-flavored agave syrup over the finished patty.
