Description
A delicious combination of classic pizza and juicy burgers, perfect for casual gatherings and family nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean / 20% fat)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16–24 slices pepperoni
Instructions
- Mix your meats: In a large bowl, combine your ground beef, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix it all together gently.
- Shape the patties: Grab about a quarter of the mixture and form it into a patty. Make it about an inch thick and slightly larger than your buns.
- Cook the patties: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
- Sauce them up: Once the patties are almost cooked, top each one generously with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. Cover until the cheese melts.
- Add the pep: Place slices of pepperoni on top of the melted cheese, allowing them to get warm and slightly crispy.
- Toast your buns: Pop your hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden and crisp.
- Assemble the burgers: Place each cheesy patty on a bun, add extra pizza sauce and any additional favorite toppings.
- Serve and enjoy: Your Pizza Burgers are ready to be devoured, served hot with sides of your choice.
