Muffuletta Burgers

Here's a twist on a New Orleans Classic.

1 pound ground chuck

1/3 pound ground pork

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon canola oil

8 slices provolone cheese

4 sesame seed hamburger buns, halved and toasted

1 cup Italian olive salad

12 thin sliced hot capacola

6 thin slices mortadella, cut in half

6 thin slices Genoa salami, cut in half

In a large bowl, gently combine beef and pork. Divide mixture into 4 portions, and shape into 4-inch patties (about 1/2 inch thick). Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.

In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, heat oil over a medium-high heat. Add patties; cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn patties, and cook, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 160℉, 5 to 7 minutes. Top each with 2 slices of cheese, and cook until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.

On bottom half of each bun, place 2 tablespoons olive salad. Top with patties. Arrange capacola, mortadella, and salami on patties, folding to fit. Top each with 2 tablespoons olive salad. Cover each with top half of buns. Serve immediately.
