Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
- 0.5 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casing removed)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 slices sliced pepperoni
- 4 buns hamburger buns
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Italian sausage, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Mix thoroughly with your hands, but do not overwork the meat.
Step 2
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan if cooking indoors.
Step 4
Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each cooked patty, spreading it evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce on each patty. Top with 3 slices of pepperoni.
Step 7
Cover the skillet with a lid (or use a large heatproof bowl as a cover) and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Lightly toast the hamburger buns, either in a toaster or on the grill pan.
Step 9
Assemble the pizza burgers by placing each patty onto the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
Step 10
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries, roasted veggies, or a side salad.
