Grilled Pizza Burger
- 1 lb ground beef
- 14 cup sliced pepperoni
- 8 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and then coarsely chopped
- 1 lb store bought pizza dough
- 1 cup store bought pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated garlic
- 2 tablespoons granulated onion powder
- 6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons flour
- In a medium sized bowl, add ground beef, bacon, onions, black pepper, salt, oregano, onion and garlic.
- Mix until all incorporated (be careful not to over mix).
- Make three 5 ounce (try to make burgers around 3-3 1/2 inches round in diameter) burger patties and grill until medium, about 3-4 minutes on each side, then remove from the grill and set on a plate to rest.
- In a small bowl, mix pepperoni, cheese and pizza sauce together and set aside.
- Dust the cooking board with flour and cut the pizza dough into thirds, roll it out until you have about a 5-6 inch diameter.
- Put one burger patty, on one side, of one piece of the dough, leaving at least 1/2" from the edge available to be sealed.
- Put a 1/3 of the cheese and sauce mix on top of the burger.
- Fold the other half and pinch until sealed tightly.
- Mold the dough around the burger to make it round, without applying to much pressure.
- Repeat for the other two patties.
- Oil both sides of each burger wrapped in dough and grill for 4-7 min (on both sides or until desired crispness) on the medium-hot part of the grill, turning with a flat spatula.
- Then slide to the warm part of the grill, close the lid, and let cook for an additional 2-3 minute Open lid, remove and enjoy.
