Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb hot bulk Italian sausage (or links removed from the casings)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 onion (sliced into rings)
  • 1 green bell pepper (cored and sliced into rings)
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 4 Kaiser rolls ( or hamburger buns)
  • 2 tomato (sliced for topping)
  • 4 Lettuce leaves (for topping)

Instruction

  • Divide the sausage into 4 equal portions and form each one into a thin patty. Make a slight indentation in the center to prevent shrinkage.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor grill for a medium-hot fire. Cook the patties on the hot skillet or grill over direct heat until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and cook the onion and peppers until very soft and starting to brown, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, basil, oregano, and garlic. Stir well.
  • To assemble the burgers, place one burger on a bottom bun half. Layer on the tomatoes, lettuce, and sauce, and top the bun.
  • Make-ahead: The patties can be formed and the mayonnaise spread can be made up to 1 day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to cook the burgers.
