Beef and pepperoni patties topped with melted mozzarella and pepperoni in buns with pizza sauce!
This recipe combines two of my favourite foods, pizza and burgers! I like a nice simple pepperoni pizza and these burgers include shredded pepperoni in the beef patties in addition to whole pepperoni on top of the patties. Once the patties have been cooked, they are topped with mozzarella and pepperoni before continuing to cook until the cheese has melted. The patties are placed into buns with pizza sauce to complete the pizza burger experience! These burgers are the perfect combination of the flavours of pepperoni pizza in burger form!

That is the most creative burger I’ve seen
Do you mix the pepperoni in with the ground beef and put it on top?
Yes! Some pepperoni is mixed into the patties and some is placed on top. Enjoy!
another creative mash up, love it, and thank you!
Love this recipe! Combining pizza and burgers is brilliant. The pepperoni in the patties adds a great flavor. thanks for sharing!
Incredible! This Pepperoni Pizza Burger is everything I didn’t know I needed in a meal. Absolute perfection!
The fusion of pepperoni and burger flavors in this recipe is nothing short of brilliant. It’s a taste sensation!
I’m making these tonight and I was hesitant about the four garlic cloves and now I’m smelling it after mixing and I really think it’s way too much garlic!
