Instructions

1. To make the Mustard BBQ Sauce, in a small saucepan over medium high heat, combine mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil; then simmer for 10 minutes. Before serving, stir in butter until melted.
2. To make the Caramelized Yams, fill a large saucepan halfway with water and place over high heat. Bring to a boil. Add yam slices and cook for 5 minutes. Drain yams. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large fireproof skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes. Add yams and cook for 3 minutes per side. Place on a plate with paper towels to drain. Set aside.
3. To make Crispy Country Ham, heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add country ham and cook for 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
4. To make burgers, combine the chuck, pork, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne, salt, pepper, and water in a large bowl. Handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions.
5. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
6. Brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the burgers on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once, about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness. During the last few minutes of grilling, place a slice of cheese on each patty. Also, during the last few minutes of cooking, place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly.
7. To assemble the burgers, spread some Mustard BBQ Sauce on the cut sides of the buns. On each bun bottom, place some Crispy Country Ham, a burger, and equal amounts of Caramelized Yams. Add the bun tops.
