If you were forced to choose between only one—burgers or pizza—for the rest of your life, which would you pick and which could you live without? If your answer is a panicked "NEITHER! Don't make me choose!," we feel you. Luckily, the stress of choosing isn't such a permanent and heartbreaking situation. The biggest struggle we know is deciding what to eat for dinner: a cheeseburger or a slice of pepperoni. Now don't need to choose because we made pizza burgers a thing.
Topped with melted mozzarella and pepperoni, these cheeseburgers taste like a cross between meatballs, burgers and everyone's favorite pizza pie. It's a happy marriage between three of the best foods in the world. To make them, mix ground beef with garlic and parsley. Sear patties in a skillet then top with cheese and pepperoni before adding the marinara to simmer with the burgers. You could stop there, and load the pretty burgers onto regular buns. But these are not regular burgers. They deserve garlic buns.
While your burgers are cooking, brush melted butter on soft italian rolls (or hamburger rolls) sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder and grated Parmesan. After 10 minutes in the oven, you have toasty garlicky buns good enough to eat on their own, but better when smothered with sauce and topped with pepperoni burgers. Bon appetit!
