Jucy Lucy!

A little late but here goes. The Jucy Lucy! Turned out great, final verdict? MORE CHEESE. Really. I thought I had enough in there. Alas, no.
I was in such a rush thru the grocery store I forgot pickles and fries. Turned out, that was ok. The burgers were thick, which means FILLING. :) Meaty cheesy goodness for sure.

I only had enough beef for 3 burgers total. I went a little non-traditional with my burgers. I made one with a provolone and American mix (Mike said it was great - he took it to lunch, but still more cheese - are you seeing a trend?) and the other two? Oh, smoked Gouda and sautéed mushrooms. GLORIOUS. No really. I used whole wheat buns (we do wheat bread for about everything, hot dog buns, hamburger buns...), Romaine hearts, white onion, tomato, and baby Bella mushrooms.

This web site has a pretty good how-to, which is the method I used for making mine.
Jucy Lucy how-to and recipe

I seasoned my beef with a little Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic and Borsari (can be found at Whole Foods - great meat seasoning, and I used it on the sautéed mushrooms too).

So following the instructions, I just added different cheeses. I made my mushrooms with butter, white wine and Borsari seasoning.
