Directions
- Preheat your grill to medium high. Drizzle a little oil on the corn and then place them on the grill to lightly char at about 2 minutes per side. Once charred remove them from the grill and set aside to cool.
- Cut the corn off the cobs then add them to a bowl with the red onion, cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and basil. Taste and add additional seasonings as needed. Set aside.
- Make the burger patties by taking 1 patty and season it with salt and pepper. Use your hand to flatten it a bit cut 2 slices of cheese into ¼ ‘s and then place them in the center of the patty. Drizzle on a bit of bbq sauce as much as you like. Take a 2nd patty and season it then flatten it a bit. Place it over the cheese to enclose it forming a single patty. Repeat this process with the remaining patties and cheese to form 5 juicy lucy burger patties.
- Oil the grill as needed and place on patties. Cook them 4-5 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook another 4-5 minutes on the second side.
- As the patties cook, add the sliced mushrooms and onions to the grill, if using a flat top. If not, place them in a saute pan with some cooking oil over medium-high heat. Cook them until they start to brown 4-5 minutes. Season them with some salt and pepper then cook them until they reach your desired doneness.
- Toast the buns and then when the burgers are done add a patty, add some of the caramelized mushrooms and onions. Add a bit more bbq sauce if you like, then top it off with the top bun. Serve the burgers warm with some of the corn salad and a pile of chips. Enjoy!
