Categories     Sandwich     Pork     Dinner     Lunch     Mayonnaise     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound hot Italian sausage, casings removed
8 ounces ground pork
3 garlic cloves, pressed
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning, crumbled
1/4 cup minced drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup mayonnaise
4 1/2-inch-thick onion slices
1 large red bell pepper, quartered lengthwise
4 1/4-inch-thick slices provolone cheese
4 onion rolls, cut horizontally in half

Steps:

  • Mix first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Season with pepper. Divide mixture into quarters. Shape each into 3/4-inch-thick party. Mix tomatoes and mayonnaise in small bowl to blend. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover patties and tomato mayonnaise separately and chill.)
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill burgers, onions and peppers until burgers are cooked through and onions and peppers are lightly charred, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Move peppers and onions to cool side of grill. Top burgers with cheese. Place rolls on grill cut side down. Cover with lid and cook until cheese melts and buns are heated through, about 2 minutes. Transfer buns to plates. Spread 3/4 tablespoon mayonnaise mixture over each bun half. Top with burger, then bell pepper and onion. Cover with top half of buns and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: Use a blend of chuck and sirloin for a juicy and flavorful burger.
  • Season the beef well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
  • Form the burgers gently: Do not overwork the beef, or the burgers will be tough.
  • Make a thumbprint in the center of each burger: This will help the burgers cook evenly.
  • Grill the burgers over medium-high heat: Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the burgers.
  • Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.

Conclusion:

Grilled Italian burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
