🧾 Ingredients

1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend) 🍔
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀
½ cup mini pepperoni slices or chopped pepperoni 🍕

👩‍🍳 How to Make Pizza Burger Pepperoni Mozzarella

1. Prep the Burger Mix

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently.

2. Stuff the Patties

Divide beef into 8 equal portions. Flatten one portion, sprinkle a little shredded mozzarella and pepperoni in the center, then top with another flattened portion. Pinch edges to seal and form a stuffed patty.

3. Cook the Burgers

Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through and cheese is melted inside. Avoid pressing the patties to keep them juicy.

4. Toast the Buns

Lightly butter the buns and toast on the grill or skillet until golden.

5. Assemble the Burgers

Spread pizza sauce on bottom bun, add the pizza-stuffed burger patty, extra pepperoni, and mozzarella if desired. Top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and the top bun.

🧡 Pro Tips & Tricks

Seal patties well to avoid cheese oozing out.
Use fresh mozzarella for extra gooey texture.
Serve with garlic fries or onion rings for the full experience.

🥶 Storage Tips

Store leftover cooked patties wrapped in foil in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat gently to keep cheese melty.
