Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 hamburger buns

1 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup sliced pepperoni

1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Grill or Skillet: Start by preheating your grill or a large skillet over medium heat. If you’re grilling, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Burger Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.

      Cook the Patties: Place the patties on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

        Add the Sauce and Cheese: Spoon about 1/4 cup of marinara sauce onto each patty. Top with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese. Add slices of pepperoni and black olives, if using.

          Melt the Cheese: Cover the patties with a lid (or tent with aluminum foil) and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

            Toast the Buns: While the burgers are finishing, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

              Assemble the Burgers: Place each cheesy, saucy burger onto a toasted bun. Top with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic touch, and add any additional condiments you enjoy.

                Serve: Serve the pizza burgers hot with a side of chips or a green salad for a complete meal.
