Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb hot Italian sausage
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 bell pepper finely chopped
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 8 oz fresh Mozzarella cheese sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 4 large Roma tomatoes sliced in 1/4 in thick slices
  • 36 large fresh basil leaves stems removed
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tbs balsamic vinegar
Instructions

Gently but thoroughly mix together the ground beef and ground Italian sausage (removing from the casings if any), along with the Italian spices, chopped onion, chopped Bell pepper and 2 cloves of minced garlic.

Press the mixture into a jelly roll pan using a rolling pin to make a flat even layer.

Cut the meat into 2 squares.

Grill 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through to a temperature of at least 16

If not fresh from the oven, wrap the rolls in foil and warm on the top rack of the grill while the burgers are cooking on their second side.

When the burgers are done, place a slice of mozzarella on each burger and tent with foil while preparing the buns.

Whisk together olive oil, balsamic and remaining 1 clove minced garlic

Place the burger with cheese on the bottom of the bun, add a slice of tomato and two good-sized basil leaves and drizzle each burger with 1/2 teaspoon of the balsamic/olive oil dressing.
