In a bowl, mix ground beef with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Shape into 4 equal burger patties.

2. Cook the Patties

Heat a skillet or grill to medium-high heat.

Cook burgers 3–4 minutes per side until done to your liking.

3. Pizza-ize the Burgers

Lower the heat.

Spoon marinara sauce over each patty.

Top with mozzarella and provolone.

Add 3–4 slices of pepperoni (or your favorite pizza toppings).

Cover the pan for 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts.

4. Toast the Buns

Brush burger buns with olive oil or butter.

Toast until golden and slightly crisp.

5. Assemble

Spread extra pizza sauce on the buns.

Add the cheesy, pizza-topped patty.

Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.

Tips & Variations

Swap pepperoni for sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives for a veggie-friendly version.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes on top for extra heat.

Serve with a side of garlic fries or a simple salad.
