Steps

Steps

In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Shape into 4 patties and set aside to rest.

Preheat a grill or grill pan and the broiler to medium-high heat. Arrange the buns, cut side up, on a baking sheet, and toast until golden. Remove the top halves and set aside.

Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side.

While the burgers are cooking, warm the pizza sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Spread half of the sauce over the bottom buns and top with half of the mozzarella cheese and pepperoni. Broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Place the cooked burger patties on the bottom half of the buns and top them with the remaining sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. Broil until melty then place the top halves over the burgers.

Serve the pizza burgers immediately and enjoy.
