If you are using sausage links, start by taking the casing off each link.

Add to a bowl with the ground beef.

I use my electric hand mixer with dough hooks to combine the meat; if you dont have something like that, you can combine it gently with your hands but not too much!

Once the meat is combined, form into patties.

6
Prepare your pan, grill, BBQ, or whatever youre using, with some oil.

7
Put the patties down.

Since these are made with sausage, you have to make sure they are thoroughly cooked throughno one wants to eat raw pork!

Cook for around 6-10 minutes on each side.

Clean peppers, and then slice peppers and onions into thin strips.

Prepare a medium size pan (or grill or bbq) with 2 tablespoons oil.

12
Add the peppers and onions and cook over low heat until they are nice and caramelized, around 40 minutes.

I prefer cooking them on low heat so they dont burn and get hard.

Get yourself a nice fresh ciabatta or focaccia roll (like I did!

), slice it in half and put it on your grill or bbq for a minute or so to get a nice smoky taste.

Take the bread off the heat and add your burger, a nice serving of the peppers and onions and 1-2 slices of fontina.
