Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 2 tbsp Butter (softened)
- 0.5 tsp Dried oregano
- 4 pieces Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat an outdoor grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, pressing slightly thinner in the center to ensure even cooking.
Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked to your preferred doneness. During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle each patty with shredded mozzarella cheese, allowing it to melt.
While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns. Spread softened butter on the cut sides of the buns and sprinkle with dried oregano. Toast them on the grill or a skillet until golden-brown.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until hot.
To assemble, place a burger patty on the bottom half of each bun. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce over the patty, followed by a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Top with fresh basil leaves if using, then place the other half of the bun on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Two Cheese Pizza Burgers with your favorite sides!
