Pizza Burgers

​What happens when you combine 2 of Americas favorite foods?  Pizza Burgers happen.  It's a pizza-hamburger fusion explosion. (Oh yea, I just said that.)

​Unfortunately, this recipe didn't go over like I had expected though.  Courtney definitely didn't share my excitement over this hamburger fusion.  Despite my pizza burger sales pitch, she wasn't on board with the whole pizza and burger-in one concept.  Teenagers - what can you do? 

​Don't let the fact that Courtney wasn't willing to even try the pizza burger, discourage YOU from trying it.  Ben and I thought they were delicious.  A perfect Friday night meal.   

Pizza Burgers
1 pound lean ground beef
1/4 pound sweet Italian sausage
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon oregano
salt and pepper
5 slices provolone cheese
1 cup pizza sauce
5 hamburger buns 

​Combine meat and seasonings in a bowl.

​Combine meat and seasonings with hands.

Grill. 

Drain on paper towels.

​

​Add a slice of provolone cheese to each burger.

​Add a spoonful of pizza sauce to each burger.

So for those indecisive eaters who can't seem to decide between hamburgers and pizza - this recipe is for you.  Now you can have both - in one meal.  

Ciao!
