BURGER WRAPPD IRISH SAUSAGE W MOZZARELLA & CHEDDAR

Steps:

• It is IMPORTANT TO SEASON YOUR GROUND MEAT SO THAT THE FLAVOR COMES THROUGH IN YOUR SANDWICH. I ALLOWED mine to sit for about 35 minutes before putting them together, to allow the flavors to marry the meat. Then proceeded to assemble. Because this was the first time I made these, I cooked one batch on the stove top in a cast iron skillet, and cooked the second batch in a skillet IN THE OVEN, for me THE OVEN METHOD WORKED BEST. YOU CAN ALSO GRILL ON AN OUTDOOR GRILL IF DESIRED.
• PREHEAT OVEN TO 400 DEGREES F. Use a shallow baking sheet or heavy skillet. Spray with non stick cooking spray and set aside till needed.
• Add ground Beef to a large bowl.
• Add steak seasoning, sumac or lemon zest, & coriander.
• Add remaining spices, Minced Garlic & eggs, minced onion,Worcestershire sauce, panko bread crumbs, onion powder,& garlic powder .
• Blend together till mixed. Set aside for about 30 to 35 minutes, to allow flavors to marry, if longer, refrigerate till ready to assemble.
• Irish Sausage is a FRESH SAUSAGE, NOT SMOKED,AND IS A BLEND OF lean pork seasoned with garlic, white pepper, Marjoram, onion powder, ^ PARSLEY AS THE MAIN INGREDIENTS. It is a very tasty and flavorful sausage, and is made on the premises in the WALT'S MEAT DEPARTMENT, something few stores do now a days. It is worth the trip if you live in the area.
• Brown the links in the skillet, I covered mine with a lid after the first 5 or 10 minutes or so. Turn as needed to prevent burning. Will take about 15 to 20 minutes total. Then remove from skillet and set aside till needed. I forgot to take a pix of the browned sausages, this pix is from a previously posted recipe for Irish Sausage Links W/ Peppers & onions, which you can add by the way if desired.
• Using about 8 ounces or more depending on the length and size of your sausages, shape ground beef into a rectangle, a little longer than sausage link. Place the cooked sausage in the middle of the ground beef.
• Carefully bring sides of ground meat up around sausage link to cover entire sausage link.
• When completely encased & sealed,
• Take 2 slices of uncooked bacon for each link,
• Wrap around Beef & sausage Link, then place in a lightly sprayed or greased skillet or shallow baking pan.
• Place in preheated 400 degree F. oven and bake for 18 to 23 minutes till beef and bacon are done and & slightly crisp.
• Add sliced Fresh Mozzarella & cheddar cheese on top & return to oven till cheese melts about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Assemble on French rolls or bread of choice.
• I used pre sliced rolls and added Fresh tomato slices, Baby spinach leaves, & sliced shallots.
• Cut in half if desired & serve while hot. I served with onion Rings.
