One night I couldn't decide what I wanted more, pizza or hamburgers, so I combined the two. Now my 3 year-old daughter Amelia cheers every time we have pizza burgers! Ingredients:
1/3 cup each chopped fresh mushrooms, onion and green pepper |
1/3 cup chopped ripe olives |
10 slices turkey pepperoni |
2 tablespoons tomato paste |
2 teaspoons italian seasoning |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs |
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean) |
4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split |
4 slices provolone cheese |
4 tablespoons pizza sauce |
optional toppings: |
sliced ripe olives, fresh mushrooms and/or green pepper rings |
Directions:
1. In a food processor, combine the vegetables, olives, pepperoni, tomato paste and seasonings; cover and pulse just until blended. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in bread crumbs. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into four patties.
2. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear.
3. Serve on buns with cheese and pizza sauce. Add toppings if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
