Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese (sliced or shredded)
- 12 slices pepperoni slices
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 2 tbsp butter (softened)
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or a large skillet to medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Divide the meat into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties.
Place the patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each patty to melt.
While the patties cook, melt the butter and brush it onto the cut sides of the burger buns. Sprinkle a bit of grated Parmesan cheese on top of the butter. Toast the buns, cut side down, on the grill or skillet until golden brown.
Once the patties are cooked and the buns are toasted, assemble the burgers. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cheesy burger patty on top, followed by 3 slices of pepperoni per burger.
Optional: Add a fresh basil leaf on top of the pepperoni for a bright, fresh touch.
Top the burgers with the toasted bun tops and serve immediately. Enjoy the pizzeria-inspired flavors!
