Ingredients

2 pounds 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 soft, classic hamburger buns
8 slices thinly sliced Swiss cheese
4 slices thinly sliced smoked ham
2 dill pickles, sliced 1/4-inch thick

Directions

Preheat the grill to high. Form the meat into 4 (1/4-inch thick) burgers. Season the meat with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on both sides for medium doneness. When the burgers are done, remove from the heat and reduce heat to medium-low.

Meanwhile, 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 cheese with a slice of ham and another slice of cheese, and finally, the pickle slices. Place the tops of the bun over the pickles, wrap the burgers in aluminum foil, and place them on the grill. Using a heavy pan or a brick wrapped in foil, press down on the burgers for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Lower the lid on the grill and continue grilling for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the bun has become pressed and firm.

Too Good To Share
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and his friend first had this burger at Mesa Grill in Las Vegas. They thought two burgers really sounded great so... they ordered the Cuban and another burger and were each to have half of both. When they reached the half-way mark, my husband's friend would not give up the other half of his Cuban burger. We since make them at home and tease the friend about it. We have shared this recipe with lot's of people-everybody loves it.Read more

Awesome Burger
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We loved this burger and it was easy to make. I will suggets you cook it longer than the recipe says. They are pretty big... burgers and need longer cook time to medium done. Grat for having people over . One burger will definately fill you up.Read more
