• In a large bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, cumin, kosher salt, black pepper, and a few dashes of hot pepper sauce. Mix gently until the seasonings are evenly distributed. Shape the mixture into patties slightly larger than your rolls, as they will shrink when cooked.
• Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty to melt.
• Slice the French rolls and spread a little butter, toast the cut sides on the grill or in the skillet until golden brown. This adds flavor and helps the rolls hold up to the juicy burger.

Assemble the Burgers:

• Spread grainy mustard on both sides of the toasted rolls. Add the cooked patty topped with melted Swiss cheese, followed by a slice or two of cooked ham. Layer on dill pickles, tomato slices, and red onion rings.
