Description

Pizza burgers combine two favorites — pizza and burgers — into one delicious meal! Juicy burger patties are topped with marinara sauce, melted mozzarella, and your favorite pizza toppings. These pizza-inspired burgers are perfect for family dinners, game days, or any time you crave a hearty, flavorful bite!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juicier burgers)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for grilling or frying)
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce (plus extra for serving)
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese (or provolone)
  • 4 burger buns, toasted
  • 1/4 cup pepperoni slices, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup black olives, sliced (optional)
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

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.
