Bamburgers

Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
1 pound ground sirloin beef
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 slices Havarti cheese (about 2 ounces each)
4 onion or Kaiser rolls, split in half
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Your favorite burger condiments, such as mayonnaise, mustard, sliced red onions, and ketchup
Directions:
Preheat the Lodge Logic Grill Pan over medium-high heat.

Combine the beef, horseradish, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl and mix gently but thoroughly. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, form into balls, and flatten slightly to form 3/4-inch-thick patties.

Grill the burgers on the grill pan for 2 minutes. Flip the patties over and place 1 slice of cheese on each patty. Cook for 2 minutes more for medium-rare burgers, or longer if you wish. Transfer to a platter.

Spread the cut sides of each roll with the butter. Toast them on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds. Put the burgers on the buns and serve immediately, with the condiments.
Note:
Havarti cheese is a smooth, buttery, semi-soft cheese.
