Ingredients
- Ground beef
- 1 pound
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Sliced ham
- 4 slices
- Swiss cheese
- 4 slices
- Hamburger buns
- 4
- Lettuce leaves
- 4
- Tomato slices
- 4
- Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup
- Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Mix gently, being careful not to overwork the meat, and form into 4 equal patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
- Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (an internal temperature of 160°F for medium).
- During the last 2 minutes of grilling, top each patty with a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese. Cover the grill to ensure the cheese melts thoroughly.
- While the burgers are cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until well combined.
- Spread the Dijon mustard sauce on the bottom halves of the hamburger buns.
- Layer each bun bottom with a fresh lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato, then place the cooked burger patties on top.
- Complete the burgers by adding the bun tops. Serve immediately, and enjoy your gourmet creation!
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions on top of the burger.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Provolone, for a unique twist!
- If you want to make it a bit spicier, add a few slices of jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce to the burger.
