- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1/4 sweet relish
- Juice of 1/2 small lemon
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup minced chives
- 8 slices black forest ham or your favorite cooked ham
- Canola or olive oil, for drizzling
- 2 pounds 80% lean ground beef
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish or grated fresh horseradish
- 3 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard
- 4 thick-cut deli slices Muenster, Swiss or Gruyère cheese

- Grilled potato rolls
Preparation
Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat or prepare an outdoor grill.
Combine sour cream, ketchup, relish, salt, pepper, chives, lemon juice in a small bowl and set aside.
Combine beef with Worcestershire, horseradish and mustard. Form patties thinner at the center and thicker at the edges for even cooking. Griddle or grill burgers 8-10 minutes, turning once. Top with folded ham and cheese the last 1-2 minutes to melt.
Serve burgers on toasted rolls topped with lettuce, tomato, onion and special sauce.
