Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the meat into 4 equal portions and form into burger patties slightly larger than the buns. Use your thumb to create a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
Brush the grates of your grill with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F for medium doneness.
During the last 2 minutes of grilling, spoon about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each patty. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by 2 pepperoni slices per patty. Close the grill lid and allow the cheese to melt.
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty onto the bottom half of the toasted bun. Add a fresh basil leaf on top if desired, and finish with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Pizza Burgers!
