Jucy Lucy

• In a large bowl put ground beef and add Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and garlic salt and mix everything well together.
• After everything is well incorporated, form 8 thin patties from the beef with its size slightly larger than a slice of cheese.
• Take each slice of American cheese at a time and cut them into 4 equal pieces. Stack these pieces of one slice on top of each other and so the same with the remaining slices.
• Now take one patty and place one stack of cheese on top of it and cover it with another beef patty.
• Tightly pinch the edges to seal the cheese in between the 2 ground beef patties. Repeat the same with the remaining patties and cheese.
• Preheat a heavy bottom skillet or a grilled pan over medium heat and drizzle some vegetable oil over it. Place burgers on them until their outer layer is crisp and brown.
• On the same pan place the patties and allow them to cook until they are brown from the outside and no longer pink on the inside.
• Place the cooked patties on the burgers and layer with pickles, onion, and sautéed mushrooms (everything optional).
• Serve with a sauce of your own choice.
