HOW TO MAKE PIZZA BURGERS

Start by browning the ground beef and ground sausage. When the browning process is about halfway done, add butter, onions, and mushrooms. Now cook until the meat and mushrooms are browned and the onions are soft.Then reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and marjoram and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Then add the marinara or pizza sauce. Continue simmering for about 7-10 minutes.

In the meantime, break and toast the English muffins under the oven grill.Now distribute the meat mixture evenly over the toasted muffins. Top with diced pepperoni and mozzarella. Place under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes or until the cheese melts.

RECIPE NOTES AND HELPFUL TIPS

Broilers are unpredictable, so stay close and monitor the situation.
Pizza sauce can be replaced with marinara sauce.Marinara is a little thinner than pizza sauce, so I let it simmer for a few minutes to thicken and blend all the flavors.
Stack the peppers and cut them in half or quarters. Wear as much as you like.
Be sure to toast the English muffins before placing them on top of the meat mixture. It really helps keep them from getting soaked.You can substitute English muffins for hamburger buns, but be sure to toast them. The bottom buns are ideal because they are flat, but you can also get the top buns by cutting a piece of the crown so they lie flat.
Parchment paper can catch fire, so it’s best to place aluminum foil under the grill.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave at reduced power.Freeze for up to 3 months in a heavy duty freezer container or heavy duty freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
