how to make mikes garlic swiss burgers

Mix everything together very well. Except for the swiss cheese, vegetables, butter and bread.

Divide mixed meat in half and create two 1 pound burger patties. Or, create four medium sized if you'd like. For larger buns, press meat thinner than usual and poke five [M&M sized holes] throughout each burger to keep them from shrinking in circumference.

Grill burgers over charcoal or pan fry patties with lid and fry until fully cooked. Usually 4 minutes on each side for 1 pounders and 2.5 to 3 minutes on each side for 1/2 pounders. Be careful not to burn burgers though! Trust me, garlic tastes terrible when burnt!

Place two slices of Swiss Cheese on top of fully cooked meat and cover with lid until melted.

Place 1 tablespoon butter in pan and sprinkle the pan with garlic powder. Place 2 buns [flat side down] into simmering garlic butter until lightly browned and crispy at the edges. Repeat pan sear for all buns.

Serve these burgers with chilled, sliced tomatoes and white onions on the side. The condiments served are completely up to you but a homemade Garlic Aoli or even most mustards go great with these burgers! Grilled onions are also a fantastic option.
