Deluxe Pizza Burgers
- 1-1/4 pounds ground round
- 4 ounces sauteed fresh mushrooms or canned mushrooms, roughly chopped
- 3 ounces pepperoni, roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 (1/2-inch thick) slices of green bell pepper
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 3/4 cup prepared pizza sauce
- 4 hamburger buns
- Preheat grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat. In large bowl, combine beef, mushrooms, pepperoni, oregano and garlic powder. Form into four patties, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Place burgers on hot grill rack. Cover and cook 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 135u0b0 for medium rare doneness, turning once (flip very carefully - they're sort of fragile!) During last three minutes of cooking, place green pepper on grill rack, and top burgers with cheese slices. Cook pepper just until slightly softened; cook burgers until cheese melts.
- Meanwhile, place pizza sauce in microwave safe bowl; cover and microwave 45 seconds or until hot. Serve burgers on buns, topped with green pepper and pizza sauce.
