Pizza Burgers...

1 1/4 lb. extra lean ground beef
1 ounce (10-12 slices) pepperoni
1/4 C. bottled pizza sauce
1/4 C. Italian style bread crumbs
4 thin slices mozzarella cheese
4 hamburger buns

Turn gas grill to medium high.
Place ground beef in a large bowl.
Coarsely chop the pepperoni and add it to the bowl.
Add the pizza sauce.
Using your hands, mix until the sauce is fully mixed into the meat.
Shape into 4 patties.
Grill until the meat is done but not dry.
Place a slice of cheese over each burger and cook until the cheese melts.
Serve on a bun and serve with condiments.

This was my Mom’s recipe and she liked to add chopped onions and bell pepper to the meat mixture. These burgers can be broiled or even fried in a frying pan rather than on the grill.
