This Jucy Lucy Hamburger Oozes Melted Cheese
As a Wisconsin native, cheese has always been a staple of my diet and my life. However, it wasn't Wisconsin that invented this twist on a classic cheeseburger. Two cities in Minneapolis, Minnesota both claim to have invented the Jucy Lucy, a burger which has the cheese inside of the hamburger patty instead of on top. This Jucy Lucy recipe will show you just how to make this burger as it was originally made, but also offers a few ways that you can change it up.
