Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 4 Large hamburger buns
- 16 Pepperoni slices
- 2 tbsp Butter, melted
- 0.25 tsp Garlic powder (for topping)
- 0.25 tsp Dried parsley (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that matches the size of the hamburger buns.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear each patty for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. They don’t need to be fully cooked, as they will bake in the oven.
Place the bottom halves of the hamburger buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce on each bun bottom and place a cooked burger patty on top.
Add more pizza sauce on top of each burger patty, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Place 4 pepperoni slices on top of the cheese on each patty.
Cover each burger with the corresponding top half of the buns.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder (for topping), and dried parsley. Brush the tops of the buns generously with the mixture.
Cover the assembled burgers loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the tops to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the burgers cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the delicious combination of pizza and burger flavors!
