tailgate sliders

My dad started making these when I was in high school. He'd usually cook them for breakfast and we would have them with eggs. So a lot of times when I make them, we eat them for breakfast.  
Their original purpose was for sliders, which they make really great sliders. Either way you choose to eat them, I know you will love them!
I make a large batch because these are great to freeze patties to have ready for days you don't feel like making them. 

Ingredients:  

• 2 tbsp oil 
• 1.5 lb ground beef
• 1.5 lb ground pork
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 2 tsp fennel
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 onion finely diced
• 1 green bell pepper finely diced  

Directions: 

• Finely chop up the onion and bell pepper and place in a large bowl 
• Place all other ingredients in the bowl and mix well 
• In a skillet, heat up oil 
• Form patties the size of a slider 
• Cook until desired temp is reached 
• Dress your bun up with some blue plate mayonnaise, tomato, lettuce and the patty! 
• You can also form patties and put them on a cookie sheet to freeze 
• They are easy to take out the freezer and cook when your ready!
