Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Also preheat oven to 450degF (for the buns)

In a large mixing bowl, combine ingredients for patties (using your hands is best to make sure they are fully incorporated).

Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions.

Form each portion into a large meatball, then press down into a patty.

Once grill or grill pan is hot enough, cook the patties for 10 minutes on each side.

Prepare the Toppings

In a small mixing bowl, add all ingredients for the sauce. Include all of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes jar. Using an immersion blender (or stick blender), whip together until smooth.

Cut the onion into full rounds.
