Now it’s Party time!
Make those patties about 1/2 inch thick (6). Grill for about 5 minutes on each side.
Put a few spoons of olive salad on the bottom of the roll, ham on that, burger on that, cheese on burger and top with a mound of olive salad.
It’s messy and drippy and OOOH so good. Step away from the car and enjoy.
