Juicy Lucy Sliders

I’m sharing French’s® in my life as part of a sponsored series for Socialstars™ #FrenchsCrowd #FrenchsMustard
My husband and I recently visited a new local pub that opened up near our house. While looking at the menu I saw that they are known for an award winning “Juicy Lucy” burger. If you aren’t already familiar, these hamburgers are popular in the Minneapolis area where they became famous. The Juicy Lucy features stacked cheese in the center of the hamburger patty, making them an ingenious way to enjoy a burger. When it comes to burgers, sliders are king in our house so we thought it would be fun to make Juicy Lucy sliders.
For this recipe we used 85% lean hamburger and block American cheese. You’ll want to create small slices that can be stacked. You can try other kinds of cheese that melt well such as pepper jack.
These burgers are essentially two sliders stacked together so you’ll want to pinch the edges to seal in the cheese.
My husband loves to cook his sliders in a cast iron skillet over onions, but you can also throw these on the grill if you prefer.
Ketchup and mustard is a must for these sliders. Although French’s is known for its iconic Classic Yellow mustard, did you know that it also has a deliciously bold tasting Spicy Brown mustard AND a smooth & creamy Dijon? These is a great recipe to offer all three varieties!
My husband went bold with the big taste of French’s Spicy Brown. He likes the extra kick that goes beyond French’s Classic Yellow mustard so he loaded his slider up! It is perfect for everything from sandwiches to brats and is a new staple in our fridge.
This Juicy Lucy Slider turned out incredible! I love that I didn’t have to worry about any cheese coming off when my husband stacked them on a platter for serving.
The flavor of these mini burgers is out of this world!

Have you gotten bold and tried the big taste of French’s Spicy Brown?
These look really good. I like that the cheese is cooked between the patty’s.
The Juicy Lucy Sliders on Hawaiian buns is amazing and I really am going to make this delicious sliders for me and the kids! They would love them!
Those look yummy. I’ve never heard of Juicy Lucy before.
This is so fun, and I just wonder why I never saw anyone make juicy lucy before. I can’t wait to try it. We love cheeseburgers, this will be good!
