    Looking for a burger that's packed full of big, bold flavors, and is lip-smacking good? Then listen carefully because this Dilly Swiss Cheese Burger is calling your name.

    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2015. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

    The idea for this burger came to me while I was in the grocery store trying to figure out a tasty idea for dinner that night. Since I love Swiss cheese, and my husband loves Cuban sandwiches, this burger is a delicious combination of the two and is something we both enjoyed.

    When I work on recipes, I don't always have specific ideas in mind before I start. With this burger, all I knew is that I wanted to use a beef and pork mixture, stuff it full of chopped dill pickles, and top it with Swiss cheese. The rest just sort of happened after I took out the mixing bowl.

    This recipe makes eight quarter-pound burgers. If however, you decide that you'd like to make only 4, this recipe is easy enough to half. For example: Instead of using one pound of ground beef and one pound of ground pork, use ½ pound of ground beef, ½ pound of ground pork, and so on.

    These burgers can be cooked in the oven, in a skillet on the stovetop, or outside on the grill. I'm sharing the cooking directions for all three variations with the following recipe.

    DILLY SWISS BURGER    {PRINT THIS RECIPE}
    Yield:  8 burgers       Prep Time:  5 minutes      Cook Time:  13-15 minutes

    1 pound of ground beef
    1 pound of ground pork
    2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    2 teaspoons dried dill weed
    ½ cup finely chopped dill pickles
    2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    salt and pepper to taste
    8 slices of Swiss Cheese
    8 buns (I like pretzel buns)
    toppings of your choice

    -In a large bowl, mix together the first seven ingredients and form into patties (approximately ⅔ cup of meat per patty). Season the patties liberally with salt and pepper.

    -To cook on the stovetop: Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add the burgers to the preheated skillet and brown on each side (approximately 5-7 minutes per side).

    -To cook in the oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a rack. Place the burgers on the rack and cook in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

    -To cook on the grill: Cook over medium/high heat for 5-6 minutes per side.

    -Top each burger with a slice of Swiss cheese and place each burger on a bun of your choosing.

    -Serve immediately with toppings of your choice (not pictured). Red onion, lettuce, mustard, mayonnaise, tomatoes, etc.
