Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef with salt, pepper, and any desired seasonings like Italian herbs or garlic powder. Mix well but avoid overworking the meat.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
- In the last minute of cooking, spoon pizza sauce over each patty and top with mozzarella cheese. Cover with a lid to melt the cheese perfectly.
- While the cheese melts, split your burger buns and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
- Place a cheesy patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with your favorite pizza toppings—pepperoni, sliced bell peppers, or onions—and drizzle with additional pizza sauce if desired.
- Cap with the top bun, serve hot, and enjoy your delicious Pizza Burgers!
