Now for the Recipe …

First things first. Get your burger out of the fridge about 20 minutes before you begin. Find a big bowl. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line two cookie sheets with foil and spray with cooking spray.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb Tri-Blend Burger from State Street Meats
1 lb Italian Sausage from State Street Meats
1 cup Progresso Italian style breadcrumbs (not getting any greenbacks from Progresso, we just like their crumbs)
1 chopped large Sweet Onion (Vidalia is great)
2-3 chopped fresh jalapeño peppers
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Ketchup
2 tsp Mustard
1 tbsp Spaghetti sauce
2 tsp Oregano
2 tsp Minced Garlic
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In large bowl mix all ingredients. You can do that with a big spoon, no need for a “mixer.”
  2. Once mixed, shape into balls that are bigger than golf balls, but smaller than tennis balls.
  3. Place them on the foiled, sprayed cookie sheet 3 across and 4 down.
  4. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until they are crispy on the outside and not pink in the middle.
  5. Serve alone (not kidding), or with your favorite pasta and sauce.
