Cuban Burgers
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 thin slices cooked ham (about 3 ounces)
4 slices Fontina or provolone cheese (about 3 ounces)
4 thick slices French bread or hamburger buns, toasted
2 whole dill pickles, sliced horizontally into 8 slices
4 slices red onion
4 slices tomato (optional)
1 recipe Mojo Sauce
Directions
- In a large bowl combine beef, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper; mix well. Shape into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
- For a charcoal grill, grill patties on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 14 to 18 minutes or until done (160 degrees F), turning once halfway through grilling. Add a slice of ham and cheese to each burger the last 1 minute of grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place patties on grill rack over heat. Cover; grill as directed.)
- Serve burgers on bread slices with pickles, onion, and, if desired, tomato. Drizzle with some of the Mojo Sauce sauce; pass remaining sauce.
