For the Burger:
500 grams ground beef (or ground turkey)
100 grams pepperoni, chopped
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
4 burger buns
200 grams mozzarella cheese, shredded
50 grams pizza sauce (for topping)
Olive oil (for grilling)
For Serving:
Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Additional pizza sauce (for dipping)

 

Instructions

1. Prepare the Burger Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped pepperoni, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
2. Preheat the Grill or Skillet
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or the skillet to prevent sticking.
3. Cook the Burgers
Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with shredded mozzarella cheese and cover to melt the cheese.
4. Toast the Buns
While the burgers are cooking, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.
5. Assemble the Burgers
Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Place the cheesy pepperoni burger patty on top of the sauce.
Add more pizza sauce on top of the burger if desired, then place the top half of the bun on.
6. Serve
Serve the Pepperoni Pizza Burgers warm, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired. You can also serve additional pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Enjoy your flavorful Pepperoni Pizza Burgers! They make for a fun and tasty meal.
