Supreme Pizza Burgers

Yield: 4 servings From Episode 40

Beef-and-sausage burgers stacked with pepperoni, vegetables, marinara, and melted cheese on toasted Kaiser rolls—all the supreme pizza toppings in burger form.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb Italian sausage
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 8 slices mozzarella or provolone cheese
  • Pepperoni slices
  • 8 tablespoons jarred marinara sauce, plus more for the rolls

  • 4 Kaiser rolls or hamburger buns
  • Thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 green bell pepper, thickly sliced
  • Sliced black olives
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • Butter, for toasting the rolls

Steps

  1. Mix the ground beef, Italian sausage, and Italian seasoning in a bowl. Knead together and shape into 4 large, thick patties.
  2. Cook the burgers in a skillet over medium-high heat for several minutes, then flip.
  3. Place 2 slices of cheese on each patty, then several pepperoni slices.
  4. Add red onion, green bell pepper, black olives, and mushrooms. Spoon a little marinara over the top, then cover with another cheese slice.
  5. Lid the skillet and cook until the burgers are done and the cheese has melted.
  6. Split the rolls and toast in butter until golden and crisp.
  7. Spread marinara on both halves and dust with Parmesan.
  8. Set the patties on the bottom buns, add the tops, and serve right away.
