I had some leftover ground italian sausage and I wanted to use it up. I decided to make a 50/50 blend of ground beef and the sausage into a burger patty. It was super flavorful! Make sure to cook it through since the pork in the italian sausage shouldn't be served medium rare.
If you buy 1 lb containers of each type of beef you should end up with 4-6 burgers depending how large you would like to make them.
I went with a Mexican inspired burger so I used avocado slices, a little bacon, and a lime sour crema (sour cream mixed with a squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt and pepper).
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (I like 90/10 so it's not so fatty)
1 lb. ground italian sausage - mild or hot
1 tbs. ketchup
Salt and pepper
1 egg, whisked
1 tbs. bread crumbs
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix together gently until just combined. Use your hands or a wooden spoon. Make sure not to over mix or it will make the final product really tough.
2. Form the burgers into patties. The patties will shrink a little while cooking so make sure to make them larger than whatever bun you plan on using. You can freeze them at this point in foil and store for up to 1 month. Just thaw in the fridge for a few hours and continue to the next step.
3. Preheat a grill to high heat. Grill the burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side until temperature of patty comes to 150-160 degrees.
4. Remove burgers to a plate and cover with foil and allow to rest. While burger is resting prep any toppings or condiments.
5. Assemble your burgers and toppings and enjoy!!
