Ingredients:
For the Burger Patties:
1 pound (450g) ground beef
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 hamburger buns
For the Pizza Toppings:
1 cup (240ml) marinara sauce
1 1/2 cups (180g) shredded mozzarella cheese
Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., pepperoni slices, sliced olives, sliced bell peppers)
Instructions:
Prepare the Burger Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Form into 4 equal patties.
Cook the Patties: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium doneness. Adjust cooking time to your preference.
Toast the Buns: While the patties cook, split the hamburger buns and lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster.
Add Pizza Toppings: When the patties are nearly done, top each with a spoonful of marinara sauce. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and add your favorite pizza toppings.
Melt the Cheese: Cover the grill or skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Assemble the Burgers: Place each pizza burger on a toasted hamburger bun. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious blend of pizza and burger flavors!
