Loaded Pizza Burgers
Looking for a quick pizza craving fix? These loaded pizza burgers have everything you love about pizza with juicy ground beef, gooey melted mozzarella, and delicious pepperoni all on a bun!
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb ground beef I recommend 80/20 mix
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese freshly shredded
16 slices pepperoni
4 hamburger buns toasted, sturdy
DIRECTIONS:
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Gently form into 4 equal-sized patties, and press a slight dent into the middle of each patty with your thumb.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4 minutes on the first side.
Flip patties and immediately top each with pizza sauce, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese.
Cover with lid and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the burgers are cooked through.
Place the hot, cheesy burgers on toasted buns and serve immediately.
