Ingredients

  • 1 lb (500 g) lean ground beef
  • 1/2 lb (250 g) bulk mild or hot Italian sausage
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) Italian-style bread crumbs
  • 6 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 12 slices Italian bread, 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) sun-dried tomato mayonnaise
  • 1 cup (250 mL) shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced

Steps

  • 1
    Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Mix beef, sausage and bread crumbs in large bowl. Shape mixture into 6 patties, about 1/2 inch thick and 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
  • 2
    Cover and grill patties 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in centre reads 160ºF. 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.
  • 3
    Spread toasted bread with mayonnaise; top 6 bread slices with lettuce, tomato and patties. Top with remaining bread slices.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Substitution: If you can't find sun-dried tomato mayonnaise, mix up your own by combining 1/3 cup mayo with about 2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Regular mayonnaise works just fine as well.
  • Tip 2
    Success: To keep food safe while grilling, always separate uncooked foods from cooked foods, and each other, too.
  • Tip 3
    Tip: If you can't find bulk sausage meat, simply buy raw sausages and slit the casing with a knife and remove the meat.
