Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 4 oz Corned beef (thinly sliced and chopped)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Sauerkraut (drained)
- 0.5 cup Russian dressing
- 4 pieces Rye hamburger buns
- 2 tbsp Butter (softened)
- 1 tbsp Cooking oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.
Divide the ground beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into 1/2-inch thick patties. Use your thumb to create a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the cooking oil and swirl to coat the surface evenly.
Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until your desired level of doneness is reached (160°F internal temperature for medium). During the last 2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
While the patties cook, lightly butter the insides of the rye hamburger buns and toast them in a separate skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 1-2 minutes.
Warm the sauerkraut in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through; set aside.
To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of Russian dressing on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a patty with melted Swiss cheese on top, followed by a portion of the chopped corned beef and a scoop of warm sauerkraut.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately. Optionally, secure with toothpicks to hold the burger together.
