Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 16 mins Ready Time: 31 mins


• preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• mix the ground beef italian sausage, red pepper flakes, and italian seasoning. form the mixture into 12 thin, wide patties. place about 2 ounces of ricotta cheese in the middle of 6 patties. place the remaining 6 patties over the ricotta topped patties, press down, and pinch the edges to seal the cheese in the center.
• cook on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 8 minutes per side for well done. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees f (70 degrees c).
