Add 1/4 tsp. seasoned salt, 1 tsp. red pepper flakes and 1/4 cup Grey Poupon Mustard. Mash avacado coarsely with a fork and blend to a chunky texture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. 3. Slice and dice into cubes 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak. Place 1/2 of sirloin cubes into food processor with 4 ounces of Jimmy Dean Hot ground sausage and 3 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt. Pulse until cubes are ground and blended with sausage and seasoning. Pour ground sirloin mixture into a large mixing bowl. Repeat same steps until all remaining meat mixture is ground. In the large mixing bowl handling as little as possible, meld the meat into a large ball. Begin forming mixture into 6 patties large enough to accomodate the buns. Place patties on a tray and refrigerate. 4.
