The Mega 1 – Italian Burger Recipe

This Mega Italian Burger Recipe will insure you need nor want another burger recipe again. Full of flavor with steak meat rather than mince and bursting at the seams with juice vegetables.

Making this Italian Burger recipe will be an unforgettable experience as will eating it.

You are going to be removing a load of dough from the center of the bread, simply keep this in a ziplock bag in the freezer and use it to make breadcrumbs or my personal favorite bread sauce.

The best thing about this Italian Burger Recipe is the steak meat that the recipe begins with. You can choose whatever cut you like, but I would go for the best meat you can afford. If it has been aged, it will taste even better.

As an extra flavor boost, I add a rasher of bacon to the beef while chopping, this adds a Smokey saltiness, so be careful not to add too much salt when seasoning. You can of course omit the bacon if desired.

If you love a beefy dish you must take a look at these others on the site, the last one is my personal favorite.
