SLAMMIN' HAMMIES

I always liked the flavors in my baked ham loaf, so I decided to "tweak" that recipe a little and then form the mixture into patties and make on the grill. The result is this delicious "alternative" burger served on a whole wheat roll and honey mustard dressing. This is truly a summertime favorite!

HAMMIES
1 1/2 lb smoked ham, ground
1/2 lb ground pork
2 large eggs
1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
2 oz crushed pineapple with juice (from an 8 ounce can)
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1 Tbsp brown mustard (not dijon)
1/4 c brown sugar
2-3 Tbsp pineapple juice (from can of crushed pineapple)
NEEDED TO ASSEMBLE HAMMIES
6 1-ounce slices swiss cheese
6 whole wheat kaiser rolls
1 c baby arugula, packed
6 slices tomato, 1/2 inch thick
1 bottle honey mustard dressing

Steps:

  • 1. Place all "Hammie" ingredients in a large bowl. Mix with hands until well combined. Mixture should hold together when patties are formed. (NOTE: if too dry, add more pineapple juice, if too wet, add more graham cracker crumbs)
  • 2. Make 6 baseball size patties. Place a "dimple" in middle of each pattie so they remain flat when grilled. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • 3. Prepare grill. Coat grids with vegetable oil. Place patties on grill and grill for 5-6 minutes, turn and grill for another 5-6 minutes or until instant read thermometer reads 160 degrees F.
  • 4. During the last minute, place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each pattie, close lid and cook until cheese melts, about 1-2 minutes.
  • 5. Assemble hammies: Place roll bottoms on serving platter. Lightly drizzle with honey mustard dressing. Evenly divide arugula between rolls and spread evenly. Top each with a hammie and tomato slice. Drizzle the underside of top roll with more honey mustard dressing and place on top of all.
  • 6. Serve with additional honey mustard dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham: For best results, select a bone-in ham weighing between 10 and 12 pounds. A bone-in ham will be more flavorful and moist than a boneless ham.
  • Prepare the ham properly: Before cooking, remove the ham from its packaging and rinse it thoroughly with cold water. Pat the ham dry with paper towels.
  • Use a good quality glaze: A glaze will help to keep the ham moist and flavorful. There are many different types of glazes available, so choose one that you think your family will enjoy.
  • Cook the ham at a low temperature: Ham is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly and at a low temperature. The best way to cook a ham is in a preheated oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Allow the ham to rest before carving: After the ham is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, making it more tender and flavorful.
