Here’s a fun and indulgent way to make a Pizza Burger, combining all the best flavors of pizza and a burger in one bite.
Ingredients (Serves 2)
For the Burger Patties:
- 2 beef patties (~150–200g each)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian herbs (optional)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
For the Toppings:
- 2 burger buns
- 4 slices of mozzarella cheese
- 2–4 tablespoons pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- Pepperoni slices (optional)
- Sliced onions, tomatoes, or bell peppers (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
1. Cook the Burger Patties
- Season the beef patties with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side (medium), or until desired doneness.
- Place a slice of mozzarella on each patty near the end so it melts.
2. Toast the Buns
- Spread a little butter on the cut sides of the buns.
- Toast them lightly in a pan or oven until golden.
3. Assemble the Pizza Burger
- Spread pizza sauce on the bottom half of the bun.
- Place the melted-cheese burger patty on top.
- Add pepperoni slices, onions, tomatoes, or bell peppers.
- Top with fresh basil if desired and close with the top bun.
Optional Extras
- Sprinkle some grated Parmesan or chili flakes for extra flavor.
- Serve with fries or a side salad for a complete meal.
- Use garlic butter on the buns for a richer taste.
If you want, I can also give a “deep-dish pizza burger” version where the burger is stuffed with pizza toppings inside, making it extra cheesy and melty.
Do you want me to show that version too?
