Directions

1. Gather the ingredients and preheat grill for medium-high heat.
2. In large bowl, combine ground beef, minced garlic, salt and pepper.
3. Form into four equal-sized patties and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. This will make it easier to transfer to the grill.
4. When the grill is heated, place patties on grill grates. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side.
5. Place 1/4 of the pastrami on each patty and top with Swiss cheese. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until patties are cooked through (165 F) and cheese has melted through. Promptly remove from grill.
6. Quickly whip up the Russian dressing. In a small bowl, combine the mayo, ketchup, horseradish, and onion powder.
7. To serve, add shredded lettuce to one half of hamburger bun, top with finished patty, and add a generous dollop of Russian dressing.
8. Tips: Double or triple the recipe if you intend to serve a larger group. Russian dressing can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use. The mixture will stay good for up to 3 days after preparation.
