Juicy Lucy Burger - super tasty!

Ingredients
2 servings 
  • 10 ounces Ground Beef
  • 0.5 cup Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Roma Tomato
  • 1 Red Onion
  • 2 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 ounce Arugula
  • 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon Ketchup
  • 2 Buns
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 4 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

1 Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Core, seed, and dice tomato. Peel, halve, and thinly slice onion. Wrap garlic cloves in foil, sealing to make a pouch, and roast in oven until very soft, about 20 minutes.

2 Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, tossing, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tomato, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 TBSP balsamic vinegar (we’ll be using the rest later). Cook until everything is soft and jammy, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove mixture from pan and set aside

3 Divide ground beef in half and flatten each piece into a wide, roughly ½-inch-thick circle. Place half the cheddar in the center of each circle. Fold edges of meat around cheese, shaping and sealing to create a cheese-stuffed patty. Season all over with salt and pepper.

4 Carefully wipe out pan used for onions with a paper towel. Add a drizzle of oil and heat over medium-high heat. Place burgers in pan and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side. TIP: Don’t worry if some of the cheese leaks out. It’ll still be delicious!

5 While burgers cook, halve buns and place on a baking sheet. Toast in oven until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Once garlic is done roasting, mash with a fork until smooth. In a small bowl, combine ½ TBSP mayonnaise (you’ll be using more later), remaining balsamic vinegar, a large drizzle of oil, and as much garlic as you like. Season with salt and pepper.

6 Spread buns with ketchup and ½ TBSP mayo (you’ll have some left over). Divide burgers between buns and top with onion jam and a small handful of arugula. Toss remaining arugula with dressing and serve on the side.
