Ingredients
- 1 lb. – grass-fed ground beef (80/20 lean to fat ratio)
- 1 tsp. – salt or to taste
- ½ tsp. – freshly cracked black pepper or to taste
- 8 slices – mozzarella cheese
- 12 slices – large peperoni disks

- 4 - burger buns (you can use Brioche buns or my homemade burger buns for this recipe)
Instructions
How to Make Pizza Burger
- Start by dividing one pound of ground beef into four equal portions.
- Take each piece of ground beef and shape it into a burger patty of desired thickness.
- Preheat your grill to a temperature of 350°F and place the burger patties onto the grill. Season them with salt and black pepper.
- After a few minutes, flip the burger patties to the other side and season them lightly with salt and pepper. Cook the burgers until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Once the burgers are nearly cooked, add a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each burger and 3 discs of pepperoni on top of the cheese.
- While the burgers are at the last stage of cooking, place the buns onto the grill to toast them.
How to Assemble Pizza Burgers
- Once the burgers are cooked, transfer them onto a platter and let them rest for five minutes while you heat up the pizza sauce.
- Take the bottom half of the toasted bun and place it onto a plate. Add another slice of cheese (optional) if you prefer a more cheesy flavor.
- Then, place the grilled burger on top of the cheese and pepperoni.
- Using a few spoons, add some warm pizza sauce onto the top half of the bun.
- Finally, put the top half of the bun onto the burger that is piled with cheese, pepperoni, and sauce.
