Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 hamburger buns
- 20 slices pepperoni
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by gathering everything on a clean surface.
- In a bowl, mix the ground beef with Italian seasoning, then form into four patties, each about 1/4 pound.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each patty for 5-6 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
- Top each patty with mozzarella cheese just before removing from heat, allowing it to melt. Add pepperoni slices on top.
- Slice the hamburger buns in half and toast them lightly in the skillet or oven until golden brown.
- Assemble the burgers by spreading pizza sauce on both halves of the bun, placing the cheeseburger on the bottom half, topping with more sauce if desired, and covering with the other bun half.
