½ cup mayonnaise

3 cloves roasted garlic (smashed or pureed)

¼ cup Dijon mustard

4 hamburger buns

8 slices Swiss cheese

4 slices smoked ham

2 dill pickles (sliced ¼” thick)

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1:

Grease and pre-heat an outdoor grill to high heat. Form the ground chuck into 4 patties and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place burgers onto the grill and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side or until burgers are fully cooked.

Step 2:

In a small bowl combine garlic and mayonnaise. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3:

To assemble burgers – Spread both of the sides of each bun with mustard and mayonnaise. Place 1 slice of Swiss cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Place the burger on top of the cheese. Top the burger with a slice of ham and then another slice of cheese, and finally add the pickle slices. Place the bun over the pickles.

Step 4:

Wrap burgers in aluminum foil and place them on the grill. Using a heavy pan press the burgers down for 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.(Makes 4 Servings)
