Why I Love This Recipe

This recipe actually came from a Quick Cooking mag. back in 2000. It was shared by B..J. from Garden City, KS. I've never really had a lot of luck with recipes from that publication that we liked. But this one was definitely an exception. DH often requests this when he's in the mood for not just a plain boring burger!! When I make it, I often use half pork sausage and half ground beef. We just seem to like that combination!! I've added my notes at the end of the recipe!

Enjoy!!

NOTES:

For our taste, the red pepper flakes made the sandwich too hot! I've used fennel instead and what a delightful change that made. I think I'll likely do it this way from now on. Though I also think maybe using even less pepper flakes would be worth a try.

I used Jimmy Dean Sausage, as real good Italian Sausage is hard for me to find around here. JD's sausage was excellent!!


Ingredients You'll Need

1 (8oz.) can tomato sauce
1/4 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes*

1 lb. bulk Italian sausage**
