Ingredients required

minced meat– I used 80/20 beef.
Bread-crumbs
Grated Parmesan cheese
Dried oregano
Dried basil
Garlic powder
Salty
Pepper
Hamburger buns – I used Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Brioche Buns.
Pizza sauce – I used a ready-made sauce, but homemade pizza sauce works fine too.
Mozzarella cheese – You can also use slices of provolone cheese.
Pepperoni Slices – Regular or Turkey Pepperoni are both delicious

Replacements

minced meat: replace it with ground turkey or chicken.
Mozzarella cheese: Use provolone or a mix of Italian cheeses.
Pepperoni: Substitute Canadian bacon or sautéed mushrooms for a different flavor.

Pizza burgers are best when fresh. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Warm up: Place burgers in a skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally until warmed through. Or microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.

Freezing: It is recommended to freeze the cooked burgers separately from the buns and toppings. Reheat as directed and assemble just before serving.

How to make pizza burgers

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Form the mixture into two equal sized burgers.
Heat a non-stick pan or grill over medium heat. Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.
During the last minute of cooking time, top each burger with 2 slices of mozzarella cheese and 4 slices of pepperoni.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns. Spread pizza sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Place the fried pallets on the buns, place the top bun on top and serve immediately.

Remark: Leftover pizza sauce can be served on the side for dipping.
