Delicious combo sandwich - a perfect mashup of two favorites!
Ingredients:
  • 2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped pepperoni (about 1 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 6 slices (3/4 oz each) mozzarella cheese, cut in half diagonally
  • 6 burger buns, split, toasted
  • 6 leaves lettuce
Instructions:
  • Preheat gas or charcoal grill. Combine ground beef and salt in a large bowl. Form 12 thin patties, roughly 4 inches wide, from the mixture.
  • Mix together pepperoni, olives, and 1/3 cup of pizza sauce in a small bowl. Place a rounded tablespoon of the pepperoni mixture onto the center of 6 patties. Spread it slightly and then top with the remaining patties, pressing the edges together firmly to seal.
  • Grill the patties with the lid on over medium heat for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping once, until a meat thermometer reads 160°F in the center. Avoid inserting the thermometer in the filling. In the final 1 to 2 minutes, add cheese and a rounded teaspoon of pizza sauce on each patty. Also, place the buns on the grill cut side down until the cheese is melted and the buns are lightly toasted.
  • When ready to enjoy, layer lettuce and patties on the bottom halves of the buns and top with the other halves.
