Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 4 slices Mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter, optional
- 1 cup Arugula or basil leaves (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, parsley, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 1 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for fully cooked burgers.
Reduce the heat to low, spoon about 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce over each patty, and top with a slice of mozzarella cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt, about 1-2 minutes.
If desired, spread butter on the hamburger buns and toast them in a separate skillet or on a grill until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Add some arugula or basil leaves for a fresh touch, if desired, and then close the burger with the top bun.
Serve immediately, with additional marinara sauce on the side if desired.
