Frankfurter Burgers Recipes

ITALIAN SAUSAGE BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 450 degrees F).
• While the grill preheats, add the ground hot and sweet Italian sausage in a large bowl. Roll up your sleeves and use your hands to combine.
• Form the meat into four balls and lightly press each into 5-inch-wide, 1 ¼ -inch-thick patties.
• In the middle of each burger, use your knuckle or thumb to make a 2-inch indentation (this will keep the burgers from puffing when grilled).
• Place the patties on the preheated grill. Leave them undisturbed until grill marks form on the bottom, about 5-6 minutes.
• Flip the burgers and grill until the burgers feel firm and the other side is marked for about 4-6 minutes.
• Remove the burgers from the grill and top each with a slice of Provolone cheese.
• Move the burgers to the toasted Kaiser rolls and top with roasted bell peppers, pepper rings, and basil leaves.
• Serve and enjoy.

MOP SAUSAGE BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine the sausage and sirloin with grill seasoning, garlic and parsley. Mix and form 4 patties thinner at the center and thicker at the edges for even cooking and to keep burgers from bulging. Heat cast iron or nonstick skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat, cook patties 12 minutes turning once and top with mushrooms, onions and peppers and 2 slices of cheese. Turn heat off and cover pan with foil to melt cheese, 2 minutes. Pile on buns and serve.
