Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 red bell peppers, sliced
1 large onion, sliced
Pinch plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch plus 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1/2 cup pizza sauce
2 pounds (80/20) ground beef
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried ground sage
6 slices provolone
6 semolina rolls, split and toasted
Torn fresh basil, for topping

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium heat.
Pour the olive oil into a large skillet over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the bell pepper and onion, then sprinkle with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until just softened, about 1 more minute. Stir in the pizza sauce and 1/2 cup water, then simmer until thickened but still saucy, about 5 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
Combine the beef, sausage, oregano, sage and remaining teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until well combined. Form into six patties, about 1 inch thick and 4 1/2 inches wide.
Grill the patties until cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Top each with a slice of cheese during the last 1 to 2 minutes and cover to melt.
Serve the burgers on the rolls and top with the pepper and onion sauce, then add the fresh basil.

Time 35m

Yield 8 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pounds sweet or hot Italian bulk sausage
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Sweet Peppers, recipe follows
8 slices whole-milk mozzarella
8 bakery hamburger buns, buttered and griddled
Your favorite red sauce, for serving
4 green bell peppers, seeded and cut into strips
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Form the Italian sausage in 4-ounce patties a little bit wider than the buns you are using. Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. In batches, cook each side of the patties until crisp and golden and no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes a side.
Line the cooked sausage patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place some Sweet Peppers on top, then a slice of cheese. Broil in the oven until the cheese is melty and golden brown. Place on the griddled buns and serve with red sauce.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Toss the pepper strips with the oil, garlic and some salt and pepper, and place in a 9-by-14-inch baking dish. Bake, stirring halfway through, until the peppers become lighter in color and soft, about 20 minutes.
