Pepperoni Pizza Burger

August 24, 2018 by Jan D'Atri

I grew up in an around an Italian restaurant kitchen, so when my parents would take my sister and me to an “American” restaurant, the chance to get a hot dog or hamburger was the thrill of a lifetime. My sister and I had very different taste in food. She was a hamburger, tootsie roll and orange soda gal. I always went for the hot dog, red licorice and root beer. While burgers bored me, I noticed that I would always lose interest half way through the hot dog, too. Maybe it was just too much of the same thing bite after bite. Now if we were offered the Pepperoni Pizza Burger back then, I would have changed my allegiance immediately! This burger is just downright delicious. The ground beef and Italian sausage is always a winning combination, especially if it’s hot sausage. Very little else is required; some Italian seasonings and salt and pepper. What makes this burger so yummy is melted cheese and slices of pepperoni. Also, the bun is toasted in a skillet with butter and then slathered with marinara sauce and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese. I think this Pepperoni Pizza Burger puts a tasty spin on an old favorite and certainly serves up a big portion for a big appetite!

Instructions
  1. Combine ground beef, Italian sausage, and Italian seasoning in a bowl. Knead it together and form it into four large/thick patties. Fry the burgers on one side for several minutes, then turn the burgers. Lay 2 slices of cheese on each patty, followed by several slices of pepperoni. Allow burger to cook all the way through while the cheese melts and the pepperoni warms. Split the rolls and toast them in butter in a skillet until nice and golden and crisp. Spread both halves with marinara sauce and sprinkle the sauce with Parmesan. Lay the patties on the bottom buns, then top with the top buns. Serve immediately; hearty appetites are recommended!
Recipe Notes

Jan’s Note: I was thrilled when I came across a very tasty Turkey Pepperoni this week. The brand is Bridgford, found in the packaged deli meat section of Bashas’ Grocery Stores. Yum!
