Ingredients

1 pound ground chuck
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup best quality mayonnaise
3 cloves roasted garlic, pureed
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
4 hamburger buns
4 slices thinly sliced smoked ham
8 slices thinly sliced Swiss cheese
2 dill pickles, sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices

Instructions

Form the
meat into 4 (1/4-inch thick) burgers. Season the meat with salt and pepper on both sides
and cook in a saute pan over high heat to medium doneness, about 2 to 3 minutes per

side.

Combine the mayonnaise and roasted garlic in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper,
to taste. Spread both sides of each bun with mayonnaise and mustard.

Place a slice of cheese on the bottom portion of each bun, place the burger on top of the
cheese, then top the burger with a slice of ham then another slice of cheese then the
pickle slices. Place the tops of the bun over the pickles and cook on a sandwich press or
wrap the burgers in aluminum foil and cook in a hot skillet over high heat with a heavy
skillet placed on top of the burger to press the sandwich. Cook until golden brown and
cheese has melted.
