Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 red bell peppers, sliced
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
• 1 tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
• 3 garlic cloves, sliced
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 2 lbs. ground beef
• 1 lb. Italian sausage, casings removed
• 1/2 tsp dried ground sage
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 6 slices provolone cheese
• 6 semolina rolls, split and toasted
• Torn fresh basil, for topping

Directions

1. Preheat a grill to medium. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onion and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and just tender, 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until just softened, about 1 more minutes. Stir in the pizza sauce and 1/2 cup water and simmer until thickened but still saucy, about 5 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.

2. Combine the beef, sausage, sage, oregano, and 1 tsp each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until well combined. Form into 6 patties. Season the patties with salt and pepper.

3. Grill the burgers until cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes per side; top each with a slice of cheese during the last 1 to 2 minutes and cover to melt. Serve the burgers on the rolls and top with the peppers, onion, and basil.
