I just love these burgers! They're a big hit with kids and adults. I serve them with sliced green peppers, tomato and onion slices and a jar of crushed red peppers on the side for adults. Kids enjoy them best as is. Ingredients:
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
1-1/2 pounds ground beef |
1/2 pound italian turkey sausage links, casings removed |
3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
8 kaiser rolls, split |
1 cup roasted garlic parmesan spaghetti sauce, warmed |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Crumble beef and sausage over mixture and mix well. Shape into eight burgers.
2. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear.
3. Sprinkle burgers with cheese; cook 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Remove and keep warm.
4. Grill or broil rolls for 1-2 minutes or until toasted. Serve burgers on rolls with spaghetti sauce. Yield: 8 servings.
