Pastrami Cheeseburgers

We have a backlog of Cook's Country 30-minute recipe cards to write up; I'll be trying to work through those over the next little while.

In my experience few of these are actually 30-minute, although a faster cook with a more organized kitchen who's better at multitasking may disagree.

Ingredients

  • 90mL mayonnaise
  • 45mL ketchup
  • 30mL sweet pickle relish
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 kaiser rolls, split and toasted
  • 500g lean ground beef
  • 200g thinly sliced deli pastrami
  • 375mL sauerkraut, drained and pressed dry
  • 8 slices swiss cheese
Procedure
  1. Whisk together mayo, ketchup, relish, and some pepper. Spread sauce evenly on inside faces of kaiser rolls. Set aside.
  2. Shape beef into four patties. Season with salt and pepper (and garlic paste, hot chili flakes, whatever else you put in your burgers...)
  3. Cook patties in a skillet. Remove to a plate.
  4. Add pastrami to skillet and cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned, ~3 minutes.
  5. Stir in sauerkraut and cook until heated through, ~2 minutes.
  6. Divide pastrami mix into four piles. Top each pile with two slices of swiss cheese. Cover skillet until cheese melts.
  7. Assemble burgers and pastrami mix into buns. Eat.
