Method

Burger Preparation

Prepare the Patty

In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form it into two equal-sized patties.

Cook the Patties

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Add Pastrami and Cheese

In the last minute of cooking, place the pastrami slices on top of each patty and add the Swiss cheese. Cover to melt the cheese.

Prepare the Toppings

Slice the onion and green chile. Sauté them in a pan until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, vinegar, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to form the Thousand Island dressing.

Assemble the Burger

Spread a generous amount of Thousand Island dressing on the bottom half of the hamburger buns. Place the cooked patty with pastrami and cheese on top, followed by the sautéed onions, green chile, and sauerkraut. Top with the other half of the bun.
