Muffuletta Burgers
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chuck
- 1⁄3 pound ground pork
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 4 sesame seed hamburger buns, halved and toasted
- 1 cup Italian olive salad*
- 12 thin slices hot capicola
- 6 thin slices mortadella, cut in half
- 6 thin slices Genoa salami, cut in half
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently combine beef and pork. Divide mixture into 4 portions, and shape into 4-inch patties (about 1⁄2 inch thick). Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add patties; cook until browned, 3 to minutes. Turn patties, and cook until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 160°, 5 to 7 minutes. Top each with 2 slices cheese, and cook until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
- On bottom half of each bun, place 2 tablespoons olive salad. Top with patties. Arrange capicola, mortadella, and salami on patties, folding to fit. Top each with 2 tablespoons olive salad. Cover with top half of buns. Serve immediately.
