Ingredients

• 1 pound coarsely ground pork
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp try oregano
• 1 clove small finely minced garlic
• salt and pepper to season
• 8 ounces thin sliced deli ham
• 4 slices swiss cheese
• yellow mustard
• sliced dill pickles
• 4 crusty burger buns

Instructions

1. Sprinkle the ground pork with the minced garlic, cumin and oregano. Knead the seasonings into the ground pork a little so that it holds together better to form into patties.
2. Form the ground pork into four 5 inch patties. Season well with salt and pepper.
3. Fry the patties in a non stick pan until well browned and the internal temperature of the patties is 160-170 degrees. During the last minute or two of cooking time add one or two slices of cheese on top of the patties to melt.
4. Toast the buns under the broil and spread yellow mustard on both sides. Place about 1 1/2 ounces of the deli ham on each bun.
5. Add the cooked patties with the melted cheese on top of the ham, then add sliced dill pickles before topping with the second half of the bun. Serve immediately.
