Gourmet Juicy Lucy (aka San Francisco Burger)

Kaiser rolls or brioche bun
80 percent/20 percent beef burgers
Sliced red onions
Salt and pepper
balsamic-glazed tomatoes
Fresh mozzarella cheese
Lettuce

Instructions

Form ground beef into patties, make a small indentation in one patty for the cheese. Add desired amount (and type) of cheese slices, then top with another patty. Seal edges well so cheese doesn’t ooze out during grilling.
Heat grill. Cook burgers on both sides until grilled to desired doneness. Grill onions and tomatoes (if using). Toast buns if desired.
To assemble burgers, place grilled burgers on buns with mayonnaise, mustard and desired condiments.
Top with fresh lettuce and tomatoes if making traditional style with American cheese. If making gourmet style with mozzarella, top with the balsamic grilled tomatoes and hand-leafed lettuce.
