Pizza Burgers

I often get bored of cooking the same old thing, even if it's cooked different ways.  This is something new that we tried, and it turned out pretty good.

Ingredients:

• Ground veal
• Italian Bread
• Mozzerella & Parmesan Cheese
• Pizza or Tomato sauce
• Olives
• Mushrooms (baby bella)
• Italian Seasoning
• 1 egg & Breadcrumbs
• Side: eggplant, tomato, fresh basil leaves, parm, balsamic vinegar

Step 1: prepare the BGE for direct cooking & burgers

Step 2: mix ground veal, sliced olives, italian seasoning, egg, and breadcrumbs together in a bowl until all ingredients are mixed together well.  The egg helps everything bind together.  Form into breadshaped patties.  Begin heating pizza or tomato sauce over low heat on the stove

Side prep: cut eggplant into half inch slices.  Cut fresh tomato into thin slices. Top with fresh basil leaves.  Coat with balsamic vinegar and a light coat of olive oil.

Step 3: Grill the veal patties & eggplant.  While grilling, I will sautee sliced mushrooms in some white wine or olive oil until they are somewhat soft.  I will also cut the loaf of italian bread into thick slices.  Coat the bread it some olive oil or butter and toast them directly on the grill when the burgers are nearing completion.  Top the eggplant with parmesan and melt.  Pull everything once it is cooked / toasted.

Step 4: At this point I will place the patties in the small pan that goes with my toaster over.  Place mushrooms on top of veal patties, cover with pizza sauce, and top with mozzerella.  Place the pan in the toaster oven until the cheese is melted.

Step 5: assemble your burgers, plate everything and enjoy!
