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.

    We have been making these burgers for years now and they are, by far, the most delicious burgers we've ever made. Generally, I use lean ground beef, but sometimes turkey burgers and sometimes veggie burgers. Either way, they have SO MUCH flavor. The mayo is fantastic. We use the garlic dill pickles. These burgers are not difficult to make and sooo good.

    Wow! I made these several times over the summer and they are always amazing. A little extra effort at a cookout but totally worth it.

    My husband and I tried the Cuban-style Burgers and they were delicious. It have such a great taste. I love pickles, so I know next time to put plenty of pickles on my burger. It was different than your classic hamburger. My family loved!!! it, Thanks Bobby.
