Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to 300 degrees F.
  • Place the ground beef in a large bowl and divide the beef into 8 equal portions (or 6 equal portions for larger Juicy Lucy burgers) and form each portion into a ¼-inch-thick patty, about 3½ inches in diameter.
  • Season the patties on one side with salt (this side will be the inside of the Juicy Lucy.
  • Fold the cheese slices in half and then in half again so that each slice is about 1½ inches square. Place a stack of cheese squares in the center of a patty and top with another patty, placing the season side of the patty on the cheese.
  • Use your fingers to seal the patty around the cheese; be sure to seal the edges well or the cheese will melt out. Repeat with the remaining patties and cheese.
  • Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around the top and sides of a patty. Wrap another slice of bacon around the patty, making an X on top with the first bacon slice. Secure the bacon with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining patties and bacon.
  • Place on the grill over indirect heat. Close the lid. Grill for 18 to 20 minutes, flipping after 10 minutes, until the bacon is cooked to your liking.
  • After removing the burgers from the grill, let cool for a few minutes before consuming or the melted cheese will burn your mouth.
  • Serve Bacon Wrapped Juicy Lucy burgers with Primal Kitchen ketchup, mustard and ranch for extra deliciousness!
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place on a rimmed baking sheet in a preheated 400°F oven for 3 minutes, or until heated through.
