Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 pinch lemon pepper
• 4 slices American cheese
• 1 pinch garlic pepper
• 1 pinch Cajun seasoning
• 3 roma (plum) tomatoes, sliced
• 1 tablespoon creamy salad dressing, e.g. Miracle Whip ™
• 8 dill pickle slices
• 1 teaspoon Creole mustard
• 4 cloves roasted garlic, chopped
• 4 slices sweet onion, 1/2 inch thick
• 4 large Hawaiian sweet rolls
• 4 slices smoked Edam cheese
• 4 green leaf lettuce leaves
• 2.5 pounds extra lean ground beef

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.

Step 2

Mix together the ground beef and roasted garlic. Form the mixture into four balls, and flatten into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Sprinkle the patties with garlic pepper, lemon salt, and Cajun seasoning.

Step 3

To assemble, place the patties on buns, and top with slices of American and Edam cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and your choice of condiments such as ketchup, Creole mustard, and salad dressing. These listed are some of mine.

Step 4

Lightly oil the grilling surface. Place onions on the grill, and toast on both sides. Place beef patties on the grill, and set the onions on top of them. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness. If you're lucky (or trashy) enough to still have a coffee can of grease on your stove, brush both sides of the Hawaiian rolls, then toast them on the grill.
