directions

  1. In a large bowl mix together the bulk sausage, walnuts, garlic and horseradish. Season with a bit of sea salt and black pepper. Use your hands to mix like you would in making a meat loaf. After well blended, form into 4 thin burger patties.
  2. Cook patties in a skillet over medium heat until well done on both sides. As patties are done, remove to a sheet pan to keep warm. Place a slice of cheddar on top of each patty. Loosely cover with foil.
