Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Crumble beef and sausage over mixture and mix well. Shape into eight patties.
Grill, covered, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Top with cheese. Grill 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted.
Grill buns, cut side down, for 1-2 minutes or until toasted.
Serve burgers on buns with lettuce, tomato and toppings.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Malbec, Zinfandel
Merlot, Malbec, and Zinfandel are my top picks for Burger. Merlot will be perfectly adequate for a classic burger with standard toppings. Bolder toppings call for bolder wines, such as a malbec or peppery zinfandel. The Famille Vincent Cremant de Bourgogne with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 24 dollars per bottle.

Famille Vincent Cremant de Bourgogne
From the Chardonnay grapes this sparkler allies freshness, body, and smoothness. The Cremant Brut is dry and offers fine bubbles (1.5 Million/30 minutes - we counted them but you do not have to believe me for this!), hints of flowers at the nose, crisp and fruity on the palate. It is a great Classic for all festive occasions.
