Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs ground beef
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4–6 hamburger buns, split
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce (or marinara sauce)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Optional toppings: pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, diced bell peppers, sliced black olives
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined (do not overmix).
- Form the meat mixture into 4-6 equal-sized patties, slightly larger than your hamburger buns as they will shrink when cooked.
- Preheat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook burgers for 4-6 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached and no longer pink in the center.
- During the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, spread pizza sauce generously over the top of each burger patty. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and any desired optional toppings.
- Cover the grill or skillet (if using a lid) to allow the cheese to melt, about 1-2 minutes.
- Toast hamburger buns lightly, if desired.
- Assemble burgers by placing a cheesy pizza patty on the bottom half of a bun, then topping with the other bun half. Serve hot.
Notes
- Do not overmix the ground beef to ensure tender burgers.
- Adjust cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite pizza toppings.
