How To Make burger wrappd irish sausage w mozzarella & cheddar

• 
  Step 1
  It is IMPORTANT TO SEASON YOUR GROUND MEAT SO THAT THE FLAVOR COMES THROUGH IN YOUR SANDWICH. I ALLOWED mine to sit for about 35 minutes before putting them together, to allow the flavors to marry the meat. Then proceeded to assemble. Because this was the first time I made these, I cooked one batch on the stove top in a cast iron skillet, and cooked the second batch in a skillet IN THE OVEN, for me THE OVEN METHOD WORKED BEST. YOU CAN ALSO GRILL ON AN OUTDOOR GRILL IF DESIRED.
• Step 2
  PREHEAT OVEN TO 400 DEGREES F. Use a shallow baking sheet or heavy skillet. Spray with non stick cooking spray and set aside till needed.
• 
  Step 3
  Add ground Beef to a large bowl.
• 
  Step 4
  Add steak seasoning, sumac or lemon zest, & coriander.

  Step 5
  Add remaining spices, Minced Garlic & eggs, minced onion,Worcestershire sauce, panko bread crumbs, onion powder,& garlic powder .
• Step 6
  Blend together till mixed. Set aside for about 30 to 35 minutes, to allow flavors to marry, if longer, refrigerate till ready to assemble.

  Step 7
  Irish Sausage is a FRESH SAUSAGE, NOT SMOKED,AND IS A BLEND OF lean pork seasoned with garlic, white pepper, Marjoram, onion powder, ^ PARSLEY AS THE MAIN INGREDIENTS. It is a very tasty and flavorful sausage, and is made on the premises in the WALT'S MEAT DEPARTMENT, something few stores do now a days. It is worth the trip if you live in the area.
• 
  Step 8
  Brown the links in the skillet, I covered mine with a lid after the first 5 or 10 minutes or so. Turn as needed to prevent burning. Will take about 15 to 20 minutes total. Then remove from skillet and set aside till needed. I forgot to take a pix of the browned sausages, this pix is from a previously posted recipe for Irish Sausage Links W/ Peppers & onions, which you can add by the way if desired.
