Very nice! Made as directed and DH said it was a very good burger! Liked all the Swiss cheese; really didn't taste the ham at all. It was fun to make and use a skillet with a large can of jalapenos on top of the burgers to "smoosh" then down. Thanks for a very good and oozy burger. Made for ZWT5, Genies of Gourmet
