Description
Pizza Burgers are a delicious twist on classic burgers, combining the flavors of pizza with juicy beef patties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
- Cook the patties on the grill or skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, spoon marinara sauce over each patty and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover to melt the cheese.
- While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the hamburger buns in olive oil on a separate skillet or grill.
- Assemble the burgers by placing each cheesy patty on a bun and adding extra marinara sauce if desired. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if using.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious pizza burgers!
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add crushed red pepper flakes to the beef mixture or use spicy marinara sauce.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, and consider adding chopped bell peppers or mushrooms to the patties for extra flavor and nutrition.
