Slammin' Hammies image

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!

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 16

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.

I'm not a fan of processed cheese, so I used a sharp cheddar cheese instead. It was a great choice!

I thought this recipe was just okay. The ham and cheese were good, but the bread was a bit bland.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my Slammin' Hammies didn't turn out as expected. The bread was too dry and the ham was overcooked.
