Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 12 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 2 tbsp Butter, softened
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
While the burgers are cooking, preheat your oven's broiler on high.
Spread a thin layer of butter on the inside of each burger bun and lightly toast them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Place the cooked burger patties on a baking sheet. Top each patty with 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce, 2-3 pepperoni slices, and a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Assemble the pizza burgers by placing each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun, then top with the other bun half. Serve immediately and enjoy!
