Supreme Pizza Burgers Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 pound Italian sausage
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 tablespoons marinara sauce
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 8 slices pepperoni
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives
• 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 4 slices provolone cheese (or extra mozzarella)

How To Make Supreme Pizza Burgers

1. Prepare the patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, and Italian seasoning. Use your hands to mix everything thoroughly but gently. Form the mixture into four thick, even patties. Make a small thumbprint in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly and prevent them from bulging.
2. Cook the burgers: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
3. Add the toppings: During the last minute of cooking, top each burger patty with a slice of provolone cheese, two slices of pepperoni, some black olives, green bell pepper, and onion. Add a little spoonful of marinara sauce on top of the toppings, then add another slice of provolone or a sprinkle of mozzarella to help hold everything together. Cover the skillet with a lid or another pan to help the cheese melt quickly.
4. Toast the buns: While the burgers are finishing up, toast the hamburger buns in a separate pan or on the grill until they are golden brown and lightly crisp.
5. Assemble and serve: Spread a tablespoon of marinara sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a burger patty on top, then garnish with any extra toppings you desire. Add the top bun and serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

• Don’t overmix the meat: Overmixing the ground meat can result in a dense, tough burger patty. Mix just enough to combine the ingredients.
• Use provolone cheese for a great melt: Provolone cheese is a great choice for these burgers because its mild flavor won’t overpower the other toppings and it melts beautifully.
• Sauté the vegetables: For a softer texture and to release more flavor, you can quickly sauté the onions and bell peppers in the skillet before cooking the burgers.
• Toast the buns: Toasted buns are essential for this recipe. They create a barrier that prevents the marinara sauce and meat juices from making the bun soggy.

What To Serve Supreme Pizza Burgers

These Supreme Pizza Burgers are a meal in themselves, but they pair perfectly with classic sides. A simple green salad or Caesar salad is a great way to add a fresh, crunchy element. You can also serve them with crispy french fries, onion rings, or garlic bread for the full pizza parlor experience.

How To Store Supreme Pizza Burgers Leftovers

• Refrigerate: Store leftover cooked burger patties and toppings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best to store the patties and buns separately to prevent the buns from getting soggy.
• Freeze: Cooked patties can be frozen for up to 2 months. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. To reheat, thaw the patties in the refrigerator, then warm them in a skillet or the microwave.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I cook these burgers on the grill? Yes, you can absolutely grill these burgers. Prepare the patties as instructed, then grill them over medium heat until they reach your desired doneness. Add the toppings during the last few minutes of grilling, and cover with a grill lid to help the cheese melt.
• What’s the best type of bun to use? A sturdy hamburger bun like a Kaiser roll or a brioche bun works best. These types of buns hold up well to the weight of the burger and the sauce without falling apart.
• Can I make the patties ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the raw patties up to 24 hours in advance. Just cover them tightly with plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook. This can also help the flavors of the meat and seasonings meld together.
