• 3/4 lb. lean ground beef
• 1/2 lb. sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
• 1/3 cup black olives, sliced
• 1 tsp. Italian herb seasoning
• 4 slices mozzarella cheese
• 4 slices Italian bread
• 1 Tbs. olive oil

Prepare grill. Combine first 4 ingredients and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Form into 4 patties about 1 inch thick. Grill patties about 5 inches from coals, about 6 minutes per side, until just cooked throughout. About 30 seconds before removing burgers from grill, top each with a slice of mozzarella. Brush oil on each bread slice and lightly toast on grill until golden. Top toasted bread slices with warm pizza sauce, then a burger. Eat with forks and knives.
