Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 Showboat Smoked Sausage link, minced
• 3 scallions – white and light green, chopped
• 1 garlic cloves, minced
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• Toppings of your choice, classic or get imaginative!
• Hamburger Rolls

Directions

1. Chop Showboat links into small dice or mince. Sautee over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from pan with slotted spoon onto a paper-towel lined plate, reserve any drippings and set aside.
2. Place first 5 ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Form patties and make an indentation in the middle. Brush some olive oil on a skillet, griddle or grill and heat it well. Add the patties and cook them for about 5 minutes – until you can actually see they are cooked up to the middle. Flip the patties and cook them for another 5 minutes.
3. Since Showboat Smoked Sausage is fully cooked you can enjoy your burger at whatever temp you prefer!
4. Dress & top hamburger rolls with your faves or get creative
5. Don’t forget the cheese! These burgers cozy up nicely to any cheese of your choice!
6. **Grilled bell peppers and onions, spring mix, mango & cilantro salsa are yummy ideas to try** **Fresh homemade sour cream dips offer a cool alternative to traditional condiment spreads**
7. Chef’s Note – Those pan drippings can be added to baked beans, black beans, or even to sour cream for added full flavor kick!
