Grilled Pizza Burger Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs 85% lean ground beef chuck

• 2/3 cup jarred pizza sauce

• 1/2 cup finely chopped pepperoni

• 1/2 cup finely chopped onions

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

• 6 burger buns, split and toasted


Preparation:

• Preheat the grill as follows:

Gas:
Direct heat, medium-high
(425 - 450 degrees F)

Charcoal:
Direct heat, light ash, grate should be on lowest setting

Wood:
Direct heat, light ash, 3 - 4 inches deep, grate should be 2 inches above the fire

• Meanwhile in a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, pizza sauce, chopped pepperoni, onions, salt and pepper. Don't overmix. With a light touch, form into 12 patties no more than 1/2 inch thick.

Place equal amounts of mozzarella cheese in the middle of 6 of the patties, place remaining 6 patties on top, press together, and seal edges well. This will keep the cheese from oozing out onto your grill and making a mess during the grilling process.

• Lightly cut criss-cross marks into one side of your hamburger pizza patties. Refrigerate them until the grill is ready.

• Clean and lightly oil grill grate. Grill pizzahamburger patties, covered, 8 minutes total, flipping once halfway through.


• Remove your burgers from the grill once they are at your desired level of doneness.

• Allow them to rest a few minutes before serving to let the juices settle.

• These burgers don't need a lot of toppings because they are so full of flavor. They taste great topped with just lettuce and tomatoes. Try them with a side of grilled Portobello mushrooms.

This pizza burger recipe adapts well to any of your favorite pizza toppings. Just chop them small and mix into the burger as directed above. Add pizza sauce as necessary to keep everything together.
