Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20 for juicy patties)
  • 12–16 Pepperoni Slices
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Pizza Sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 4 Brioche or Classic Burger Buns
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning

Optional Toppings

  • Fresh Basil Leaves
  • Sliced Mushrooms
  • Sliced Bell Peppers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Patties: Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, oregano, and Italian seasoning. Form the meat into evenly sized patties, pressing a small indentation in the center of each to help cook them evenly and maintain shape.
  2. Cook the Patties: Grill or pan-fry the patties over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes per side until cooked through but still juicy. Add pepperoni slices on top of each patty during the last minute to warm them through.
  3. Add the Cheese and Sauce: Spoon a generous amount of pizza sauce onto each cooked patty, then pile shredded mozzarella cheese on top, allowing it to melt perfectly on the hot meat.
  4. Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the burger buns on a grill or in a skillet until golden and crisp around the edges to add texture and flavor contrast.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Place each saucy, cheesy patty onto a toasted bun, add optional toppings such as fresh basil or sautéed mushrooms, then crown with the top bun and serve immediately while warm and melty.

Notes

  • Use quality ground beef for juicier, more flavorful patties.
  • Keep patties loosely formed to maintain tenderness and avoid toughness.
  • Warm pizza sauce before applying to the patties for enhanced flavor melding.
  • Toast buns right before serving to keep them crisp and prevent sogginess.
  • Allow cooked patties to rest a few minutes to lock in juices and moisture.
