Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef (or turkey)

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 slices mozzarella cheese

4 burger buns

1/2 cup marinara sauce (plus extra for serving)

1/2 cup pepperoni slices

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Olive oil for brushing on the buns

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill or Oven: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and form into 4 equal patties.

      Cook the Patties: Grill or bake the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through (165°F internal temperature). In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of mozzarella cheese on each patty to melt.

        Toast the Buns: While the patties are cooking, brush the insides of the burger buns with olive oil. Place them on the grill or in the oven for about 2-3 minutes or until they are lightly toasted.

          Assemble the Pizza Burgers: On the bottom half of each toasted bun, spread a tablespoon of marinara sauce. Place the cheesy patty on top, followed by a generous helping of pepperoni slices and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

            Finish with the Top Bun: Add the top half of the burger bun and secure with a skewer if desired.

              Serve: Serve hot with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an added touch of flavor.
