1 pound lean ground beef1/2 pound loose Italian sausage
1/2 cup chopped pancetta easier to freeze first and then chop or put in a food processor
1- 4 ounce can tomato sauce
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 cup Italian flavored bread crumbs
1/4 cup red wine
1 tablespoon steak sauce
salt, pepper and cayenne pepper to taste
Mix all together and shape into patties. I like to lay it out onto wax paper and use a round glass to cut them out.
Heat the grill and cook on medium heat until all the pink is gone. Serve on toasted Italian rolls and garden relish on top recipe below.
