I know this Teach me, please slices are browned (much like bacon), watching closely to ensure they brown evenly, about 10 minutes. They will crisp as they cool.

3) Transfer the salami bacon to a paper towel-lined baking tray to absorb the excess oil. Set aside to cool. The salami bacon can be made 8 hours ahead, and stored in an airtight container kept at room temperature.

Form the meat mixture into 4 equal patties a little larger in diameter than the rolls, so that when they shrink after cooking they will fit the roll perfectly.

2) Heat a griddle pan or outdoor griddle to medium heat. Once the griddle is hot, cook the burgers until the juices run clear and they are firm to the touch, about 6 minutes per side. Do not overcook or the burgers will be dry and tasteless.
