Juicy Lucy

[Lord_Byron]

I didn't have time to smoke anything last weekend, so I decided to try Juicy Lucys using the recipe I saw on America's Test Kitchen (Cook's Country) on PBS. Here it is: http://www.cooksillustrated.com/ibb/pos ... tID=210177

They're essentially cheeseburgers with the cheese on the inside. They came out great with lots of runny cheese on the inside (sorry no food porn pictures) and no leaks thanks to the double wrapping of the cheese with the meat.

When I do it again, I'll probably eliminate or drastically cut back the garlic powder. They sort of tasted too much like meatballs. But, using the bread/milk mixture in the meat did make working them easier to work and kept them juicy and tender. I don't use a gas grill, so I think temperature control would also make them more consistent. I had a cool spot on the kettle and one of them didn't have a nice crust.

All-in-all, a hit with the Princess and her friend who was over for dinner. Lady Byron bitched about the garlic.

I'm now bummed that I took out chicken for dinner. Also bummed that I found out, my aluminum foil was gone, after I sliced the potatoes for fries. I love cooking them on the grill.
