This doesn't qualify as a meat or sausage recipe, but I make up large batches and freeze them. I make my own pizza sauce and my own hot sausage. My kids love these things. I'm getting hungry thinking about this.

PIZZA BURGERS RECIPE (Makes 7-8 Large 12 oz. Burgers)

2 - Pounds Ground Beef = 85%+ Lean
1 - Small Onion
1 - Green Pepper
1 – firm Tomato
1 – 8-10 oz. can Mushroom (stems & pieces)
1 – 8-10 oz. can black olives
1 – 16 oz. can of Pizza sauce
1 – 16 oz. can Parmasean/Romano Grated Cheese (or More)
½ - cup Diced Pepperoni
2 – links (12”) hot sausage (pre-cooked & diced)

Dice Finely – onion, peppers, mushrooms, black olives (approx. 1-1/2 cups)
Mix into Ground Beef thoroughly
Pre-Cook hot sausage, cool, & dice into ¼” chunks
Dice Pepperoni into ¼” chunks or smaller
Add diced pepperoni & sausage & mix thoroughly

Mix in Pizza sauce & add grated cheese until mixture thickens
Dice Tomato and knead gently into the mixture.

Patty the mixture into large patties, approx. 12 oz. each. If the mixture does not form a good patty, add more grated cheese and knead until desired consistency.

Grill the patties & after cooked through the center, melt mozzarella cheese over the patties, & serve on a toasted roll.

Add pizza sauce instead of ketchup is desired.

NOTE: Variations – these are great with Pesto Sauce instead of pizza sauce or with both pizza sauce and Pesto in the mixture. Add any ingredient that you like on pizza, or vary amounts to taste.
