• Cover and grill patties 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in center reads 160°. Top patties with cheese. Cover and grill about 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted. Add bread slices to side of grill for last 2 to 3 minutes of grilling, turning once, until lightly toasted.

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.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Mix sausage, beef, 3/4 cup cheese and egg; shape into 6 (1/2-inch thick) patties.

• Fill buns with lettuce, tomatoes, burgers and cheese mixture.

SWEET ITALIAN SAUSAGE BURGERS

Steps:

• 1. How to Make them: Mix the first six ingredients together thoroughly. Shape the hamburger mixture into 1/2 to 3/4" thick patties. Grill the burgers to an internal temperature of 155 degrees Fahrenheit. Serve on grilled hamburger buns or ciabatta rolls with garlic-basil mayonnaise.
• 2. Garlic-Basil Mayonnaise This flavorful mayonnaise is perfect for Italian burgers. It can also be used in sandwiches and burgers - anywhere you'd like a little kick in your mayonnaise. You can make the mayonnaise fresh (below), or simply mix minced garlic and minced basil into regular mayonnaise.
• 3. How to Make it Place all of the ingredients except for the olive oil in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal cutting blade. Process until everything is well blended and the garlic and basil are finely minced. While running the processor constantly, drizzle the olive oil into the processor - first a few drops at a time and then in a slow, steady stream as the mayonnaise starts to emulsify. To save the mayonnaise, store it tightly covered in the refrigerator. The mayonnaise will keep for four to five days in the refrigerator. Enjoy Good Food

• SERVE WITH: Pair these hearty sandwiches with an Italian-style pasta salad, homemade or from the deli, or maybe a bagged Caesar salad.
