Ingredients
  • 2 pounds ground chuck
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4-8 thinly sliced smoked ham
  • 3 dill pickles, sliced ¼” thick
  • ½ cup mayonnaise, good quality
  • ¼ cup mustard
  • 4 soft, hamburger buns
  • 4 tablespoons butter, room temp
Instructions
  1. To Cook the Burger: Preheat the Bull grill on high heat for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, form the beef into 4 equal sized patties. Season with salt and pepper. To grill, cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until done. Use Bull's long handle spatula to flip with ease! Once finished, remove from the heat onto a platter, cover with foil and set aside.
  2. Burger Assembly: Create a workspace by placing parchment paper on top of a large sheet pan. Open the hamburger buns and carefully brush a light layer of butter on the outside of both ends. Place the buns down on the lined sheet pan and slather both inside buns with mayo and mustard. Place the sliced ham on the bottom layer of the burger buns and top off with a slice of cheese. Next, place the cooked burger on top of ham/cheese layer followed by the sliced pickles. Add the final layer of sliced cheese. To finish, place the top burger bun on top of the final layer of cheese and the burgers are ready to grill!
  3. To Grill: Reduce the heat to low. Preheat the grill press on the bbq for 5 minutes, till hot. Use the Bull dual handle mega monster brush to remove any residue from the grill grates. Oil the grill grates before placing the burgers down. Carefully place the burgers down onto the grill. Put on the Bull pit mitt to avoid burning your hand when placing the hot grill press on top of the burgers. With the lid open, allow the burgers to grill for 2-3 minutes. Next, close the lid and grill for 2 more minutes. This allows the cheese to melt and final grill marks to form. Eat immediately and enjoy!
