Place lean ground pork in a large bowl. Remove sausage meat from casings. Add to ground pork along with bread crumbs, milk and seasonings. Mix lightly, just until combined. Shape into 6 patties, about ½ inch (1.25 cm) thick. (If using Panini buns, shape patties into oval shape to fit buns.) Preheat barbecue on high; reduce heat to medium. Grill on lightly oiled grill over medium heat, about 5 to 8 minutes per side until burgers are cooked through and no pink remains. Meanwhile, sauté peppers and onions in hot oil until softened. Place cooked burgers in warmed buns and top with pepper/onion mixture and other condiments as desired.
Note: Always cook ground pork and fresh sausage to well done.
