Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup marinara sauce

4 burger buns

1/2 cup sliced pepperoni

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Olive oil (for brushing)

Optional: additional toppings (e.g., sliced olives, bell peppers, or mushrooms)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Burger Patties:

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.

      Form the Patties:

        Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to help them cook evenly.

          Grill or Pan-Fry:

            Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the surface with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them over.

              Add Cheese and Toppings:

                After flipping, spoon 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce onto each patty. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and place a few slices of pepperoni on top. Cover with the lid or a piece of foil to help the cheese melt. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the meat is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.

                  Prepare the Buns:

                    While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster. You can brush them with olive oil for extra flavor.

                      Assemble the Burgers:

                        Once the patties are cooked and the cheese is melted, remove them from the heat. Place each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Add fresh basil leaves and any additional toppings you desire, then top with the other half of the bun.

                          Serve:

                            Serve the pizza burgers warm with additional marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy the ultimate mashup of flavors!
