Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 16 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Mix gently with your hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties, about ¾ inch thick.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of 160°F for well-done). Remove the patties from the heat and set them aside to rest.
In a small saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over low heat until warm.
Butter the insides of the burger buns and toast them in the same skillet or on a griddle until golden-brown and slightly crisp, about 1 minute per side.
Place each cooked burger patty on the bottom half of a bun. Spoon 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce over each patty.
Top each patty with a slice of mozzarella cheese and 4 slices of pepperoni. Optional: Add a fresh basil leaf or two for extra flavor.
Place the top bun on the burger and serve immediately. Enjoy your Pizza Burger with a side of fries or salad!
