Pizza burgers are just such fun and we want to make them every night of the week. These were born when we just couldn't decide between a pizza and burger and never wanted to make the decision again. It's the perfect combo much like BLT sushi and pizza chicken.

Ingredients

1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tbsp. melted butter
4 Kaiser rolls (or hamburger buns)
12 pepperoni slices
4 slices mozzarella
2 1/2 c. marinara, divided
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1/4 c. freshly chopped parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. ground beef

Method

01

Preheat oven to 350℉. In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, garlic, and parsley and mix with a spatula until just combined. Using your hands, form 4 equally-sized patties; season both sides with salt and pepper.
02

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add burgers and cook, 4 to 5 minutes for medium. Flip patties, then immediately pour 2 cups marinara around them in the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for another minute, then top each with cheese and pepperoni slices. Cover pan and cook until cheese is melty and the burger is cooked to your liking, about 3 minutes more.
03

Meanwhile, make garlic buns. Brush melted butter on inside of each half of the rolls and sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes.
04

Spread remaining 1/2 cup marinara on bottom buns followed by cooked burgers and the top bun halves.
