Instructions

Season the Beef: In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Form into four equal patties, pressing them in the center for even cooking.
Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach desired doneness.
Add Marinara and Cheese: Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of marinara sauce on each patty, then place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top. Cover the pan or grill for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Assemble the Burgers: Place each patty on a toasted bun. Add additional pizza toppings, such as pepperoni slices, black olives, and a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley if desired.
Serve: Serve immediately with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

Customize the Toppings: Try adding mushrooms, bell peppers, or sliced onions for more pizza flavor.
Spicy Option: Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes or add a slice of spicy pepper jack cheese for a bit of heat.
Make It Kid-Friendly: Use mini slider buns and make smaller patties for kid-sized pizza burgers.
