Citrus Herb Caprese Burgers

We love eating our burgers, usually as a patty and not as a sandwich.  It is great being able to change it up with different flavorings.  And a lot of times I use the leftovers to make meatloaf.  

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp Citrus Herb Seasoning
2 Tbsp hot water
1 1/2 Tbsp Avocado Oil
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground mild Italian sausage
1 8oz pkg fresh mozzarella ball, cut into 6 slices
1 large tomato, cut into 6 slices
fresh basil leaves, optional


Instructions:

1.  In large bowl, combine first 3 ingredients; let stand for 5 minutes.


2.  Add beef and Italian sausage to bowl; mix to combine.  Form into 6 patties.

3.  Prepare grill to medium heat.  Place patties on grill.  Grill, turning once, until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees on an instant-read food thermometer, about 10-12 minutes.

4.  Top burgers with a slice of mozzarella; grill until cheese is melted.  Top with a tomato slice.  Salt and pepper as desired.  Garnish with basil leaves, if desired.

Makes 6 servings.

Serve burger on top of spinach leaves with Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar of Modena or your favorite salad dressing.

Make Ahead & freeze:  Prepare through step 2.  Place patties in a gallon freezer bag between sheets of wax paper.  Seal well, label and freeze.  Thaw completely.  Continue with step 3.
