Let's Cook
Pre-heat grill to medium low. Using a paper towel and tongs, coat the grates on the grill with olive oil. Remove casings from sausage or cut roll lengthwise. Extract all sausage onto cutting board. Rub a little olive oil on your hands, so the sausage doesn’t stick. Form 3 - 4 patties with hands. Place on oiled grill, close lid and grill 5 minutes per side.
While the sausage is cooking, brush both insides of the buns with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and place on grill the last 5 minutes of grilling the sausage. Turn buns over, place burgers on buns with a slice of Provolone, with the lid open for about 1 minute, to watch for the cheese to melt. Plate burgers, add red onion slices, roasted red peppers (optional) and serve.
