Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and roasted garlic. Add ketchup and vodka and mix.

Season patties with salt and pepper and coat with oil. In a very large skillet or on a grill, sear patties for 4 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm. Wipe out skillet.

Brush potato rolls all over with melted butter. Toast on both sides, in the skillet or on the grill. Put 1 cheese slice on top half of roll. Grind some black pepper over cheese and put in toaster oven or back on grill until cheese melts, 1 minute.

Place 6 pickle slices on each bottom roll, top with hamburger, and spoon 2 Tbsp spiked ketchup on burger. Top with other half of roll.
