Ingredients
 

  • 2 lbs Certified Angus Beef ® brand ground beef (80% fat/20% lean)
  • 2 tsps dried oregano divided
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 3/4 cup garlic stuffed green olives
  • 3/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers
  • 6 buns
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 6 slices black forest ham
  • 12 slices salami
  • 1 2slices pancetta
  • 12 slices cappacola
  • 6 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pepperoncinis

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with 1 teaspoon oregano, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Form into 6 patties a little bit larger than the buns. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the olive spread.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar and 1 teaspoon oregano. Using a mini chopper, chop the green olives, kalamata olives and roasted red peppers into about 1/4-inch pieces. Combine the olives and peppers with the oil and vinegar mixture. Set aside.
  • Heat the grill to high heat. Rub some oil on the grill grates. Place the buns on the grill, cut side down and grill for 30-60 seconds, until toasted. Remove and set aside.
  • Add the burger patties to the grill, and grill for 6 minutes. Flip. Grill for 4 more minutes. While still on the grill, top each patty with 1 slice of provolone, 1 slice ham, 2 slices salami, 2 slices pancetta, 2 slices cappacola and 1 slice mozzarella cheese. Close the grill, and cook until the cheese is melted.
  • To assemble, spread the olive mixture on the top and bottom buns. Add a patty to the bottom bun. Top with pepperoncinis. Add the top bun.
