Pizza Burgers are a fun and flavorful twist on the classic burger, combining the deliciousness of pizza with the satisfying taste of a burger. Topped with marinara sauce, melted mozzarella cheese, and your favorite pizza toppings, these pizza burgers are the ultimate comfort food. Quick and easy to make, they’re perfect for family dinners, game nights, or casual gatherings.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup pepperoni slices or other pizza toppings (optional)
  • Fresh basil or oregano, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Burger Patties:
    In a large bowl, season the ground beef with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined, then form into 4 equal burger patties.
  • Cook the Patties:
    Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
  • Top with Marinara and Cheese:
    Once the patties are cooked, spoon marinara sauce over each patty and top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Allow the cheese to melt, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Assemble the Pizza Burgers:
    Place each cheesy patty on a hamburger bun. Add your favorite pizza toppings like pepperoni, mushrooms, or bell peppers, if desired.
  • Serve:
    Garnish with fresh basil or oregano, if using, and serve immediately with a side of fries or salad.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the toppings by adding olives, sausage, or even a drizzle of pesto.
  • For a healthier option, use turkey or chicken patties instead of beef.
  • Use whole wheat buns for a lighter version.
