Pizza Burgers
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 hamburger buns
1 cup pizza sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
16 pepperoni slices (or turkey pepperoni for an alternative)
Optional toppings: sliced olives, diced bell peppers, or mushrooms
Directions:
Prepare the patties: In a bowl, mix the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.
Cook the patties: Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
Add the pizza toppings: Lower the heat, spoon pizza sauce on each patty, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Add 4 slices of pepperoni to each patty. Cover with a lid and let the cheese melt for 1-2 minutes.
Toast the buns: Lightly toast the hamburger buns in a separate pan or on the grill.
Assemble the burgers: Place each pizza burger on the bottom bun and add optional toppings if desired. Cover with the top bun and serve warm.
