Ingredients

    1 cup (250 mL) canned lentils, drained and rinsed

    3/4 lb (375 g) lean ground beef

    1 fresh Italian sausage (about . lb)

    1 large egg

    1 Tbsp (15 mL) grainy mustard

    salt and freshly ground black pepper

    bottled barbecue sauce, for brushing (optional)

    4 slices cheddar or gouda (optional)

    soft hamburger buns

    lettuce, tomato, mayo, ketchup, mustard, and pickles


Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, roughly mash the lentils with a fork. Add the ground beef, squeeze the sausage out of its casing into the bowl, and add the egg, mustard, and a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix everything gently with your hands until well combined. Shape into four patties and refrigerate while you preheat the grill to medium-high.
  2. Grill the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, brushing with barbecue sauce if you like, until charred and cooked through. (If you have a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should be 160˚F.)
  3. Serve on buns with your choice of condiments.
