Serves Four
1 ¼ lbs. ground beef
¼ lbs. honey-glazed smoked
ham, finely chopped
¼ lbs. smoked cheddar cheese,
cut into thin slices
4 burger buns
2 TBS unsalted butter, melted
2 TBS honey mustard (optional) |
| |
Preheat the Grill
Meanwhile, prepare the burgers. Put the ground beef and chopped
ham in a mixing bowl. With clean hands, thoroughly mix the beef
and ham. Form the mixture into four equal patties about ¾
inch thick, setting them aside on a plate. Wash your hands.
Brush the cut sides of the burger buns with the melted butter,
setting them on a separate plate.
Carefully oil the grill rack. Put the burgers on the grill and
cook them until done medium well, 12 to 14 minutes, turning
once. About 2 minutes before they’re done, place the cheese
slices on top of them. Put the buns cut sides down on the grill
to toast just until golden.
Presentation:
Place the burgers on the toasted buns and, if you like, serve
with honey mustard.
Variations:
Prepackaged, sliced cooked ham of any kind works well for this
recipe. Feel free to substitute smoked mozzarella or provolone
for the Cheddar, or use a good, mild-to-sharp nonsmoked Cheddar.
A honey mustard works well with the flavors in this recipe.
If you don’t have a jar of honey-flavored mustard, you
can make your own by mixing three parts Dijon or brown mustard
with one part honey. Or use another mustard or condiment of
your choice. |
