Mouth-watering and packed with flavor, these crafted loaded Italian sausage and beef burgers are elevating burger night! Stuffed with roasted red peppers, gooey cheese, and fresh spinach, these burgers make every bite a mouthwatering masterpiece!

Ingredients

Burger Mixture

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 80/20
  • 1 pound loose Italian sausage
  • 2 cups chopped spinach, raw
  • 1 cup chopped roasted red peppers
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons Chupacabra Italian Seasoning

Toppings

  • 11 1/2 cups Marinara, warmed
  • 16 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 8 Brioche burger buns
  • 23 Tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Add all of the burger mixture to a large bowl and mix just until combined. Portion into 8 burger patties and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. *This is the burger press I use. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour. *SEE NOTE
  2. Preheat the grill to 375F or place the skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Place the burgers on the grill/in the skillet and cook for ~6-7 minutes. Carefully flip and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165. *You’re cooking to this temp to ensure that the sausage is fully cooked through.
  3. About 2 minutes before the burgers are done, ladle on some of the warm marinara and top with a slice or two of fresh mozzarella. Also, brush the cut sides of the buns with butter and grill just until toasted.
  4. To plate, add another slice or two of fresh mozzarella on the bottom of the bun followed by 1-2 Tablespoons of warm marinara, the cooked burger, and then top.

Notes

*You can also make 16+ sliders if smaller burgers are desired or you can do as I did in the video and make half regular size and half sliders.
