16 slices pepperoni
→ Assembly
10 -
Optional toppings: black olives, jalapeños, sliced mushrooms
11 -
4 burger buns, toasted
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat up your grill or grill pan over medium. Make sure it’s good and hot so you’ll get those amazing grill marks!
02 -
Combine the beef with onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes in a mixing bowl. Divide and form into four burger patties, pressing a small dent into the middle of each so they stay flat on the grill.
03 -
Throw the patties onto your hot grill. Let them sizzle for about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on how well-done you like them (aim for 160°F for medium). About 60 seconds before they’re finished, lay a mozzarella slice on each patty. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese beautifully.
04 -
Take the patties off the grill and layer them with a few pieces of pepperoni and a spoonful of pizza sauce. While doing this, toss your buns on the grill and toast them till lightly crispy.
05 -
Place each cheesy, saucy patty on the bottom bun. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and any extras you like, then pop on the top bun. Serve them hot and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
For a twist, try turkey or plant-based meat instead of beef.
02 -
Add a touch of liquid smoke to your meat mix for a stronger smoky kick.
03 -
Create a toppings bar to let everyone make their burger just the way they like it.
