Grilled Italian Hamburgers

Recipesfull introduces to you: Italian Recipes. (Grilled Italian Hamburgers). This is an absolutely wonderful grilled Italian hamburger. You may add a little garlic powder also, and top with a thin slice of Mozzarella cheese as well. I do suggest you make the full recipe as leftovers never last more than two days at my house. These are wonderful with a big slice of very sweet onion and catsup. Some people like to add a slice of Mozzarella cheese before popping them in the foil and before heating again.

Directions

Step 1

Mix the ground beef sausage onion garlic Italian seasoning olive oil salt pepper and anise seed together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Chill in refrigerator at least 1 hour. Mix again after refrigerating. Divide the mixture into 12 portions and form into oblong burgers with rounded edges approximately 4 inches wide and 12 inches long. They should be somewhat thin.

Step 2

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Also preheat an oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly brush the butter over the cut sides of the baguettes.

Step 3

Cook on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked through 7 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). About 5 minutes before the meat is finished lay the open baguette halves on the grill and brown each side until toasted. Place each burger into the baguette close the baguette and then wrap snugly with aluminum foil.

Step 4

Bake the wrapped sandwiches in the preheated oven for 15 minutes before serving.
