Ultimate Pizza Burger Recipe: A Delicious Fusion of Pizza and Burger Flavors

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• ½ pound ground Italian sausage
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 8 ounces mushrooms, thickly sliced
• ½ yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon marjoram
• 3 cups marinara sauce
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 6 English muffins
• 2 ounces diced pepperoni
• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Start by browning the ground beef and Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Midway through browning, add butter, mushrooms, and onions. Cook until the meat is golden brown and the onions are soft.

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add garlic and marjoram, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Incorporate the marinara sauce and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Simmer for 7-10 minutes to blend flavors.

While simmering, toast the English muffins on a foil-lined baking sheet under the broiler. Divide the meat mixture evenly among the muffins. Top with diced pepperoni and shredded mozzarella. Broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.

Tips for Success

Monitor the broiler closely as it can be unpredictable. If using marinara instead of pizza sauce, simmer it to thicken. Toast English muffins to prevent sogginess. Use aluminum foil instead of parchment paper to avoid fire hazards. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
