Grilling Burgers with Porta Mangiare Mixes



Three great recipes for making tasty hamburgers for the grill:

Spicy Burger

  • Porta Mangiare Spicy Meatball Mix - 1 container
  • 2 Links of Hot Italian sausage - removed from casing (about 1/2 pound)
  • Ground Beef - 1 1/2 pounds
  • Provolone Cheese - 12 ounces, shredded
  • 2 eggs slightly beaten


Gorgonzola Burger:

  • Porta Mangiare Traditional Meatball Mix - 1 container
  • Ground Beef - 2 pounds
  • Crumbled Gorgonzola Cheese (or Bleu Cheese) - 5 ounces
  • 2 eggs slightly beaten


Inside-out Bacon & Cheese Burger:

  • Porta Mangiare Traditional Meatball Mix - 1 container
  • Ground Beef- 2 pounds
  • Crumbled, cooked bacon (or Pancetta) - 8 ounces
  • Provolone Cheese (or Fontina) - 12 ounces shredded
  • 2 eggs slightly beaten


Method:

Mix all ingredients well.  For best results, mix the dry ingredients like cheese or crumbled bacon with the  Porta Mangiare Mixes first, then incorporate the meat and eggs.  Form into quarter pound patties and grill!  Simple and flavorful - the Porta Mangiare Mixes make the hamburgers light and add a great blend of herbs and spices.

Each recipe makes about 8 great burgers.
