- ⅓ cup finely diced pepperoni
- ¼ cup finely diced green bell pepper
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup pizza sauce (plus additional for dipping if desired)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup pepperoni slices
- 1 tablespoon garlic butter (or butter)
- 4 brioche buns (or hamburger buns)
Steps
In a medium skillet, cook the pepperoni and green pepper over medium heat until the green pepper is tender, about 4 minutes. Cool completely.
In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and the pepperoni mixture. Form into 4 ½-inch thick patties.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat and add the patties. Cook 4-6 minutes per side or until they reach 150°F. (see notes for other cooking methods)
Meanwhile, heat the pizza sauce on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Turn the broiler on to high. Spoon 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce over each patty and top with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices. Broil 1-2 minutes or until cheese melts and begins to brown. Rest for 3 minutes or until the beef patties reach 160°F.
Meanwhile, spread garlic butter on the buns and broil 1-2 minutes or until lightly toasted.
Place a beef patty on each bun to serve. Warm additional pizza sauce for dipping if desired.
