For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as provolone or pepper jack, to customize the flavor profile. For a gourmet touch, try toasting the hamburger buns before assembling the burgers.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
4 hrs
In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, tomato paste, salt, sugar, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and dried oregano. Ensure the mixture is thoroughly combined without overworking the meat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. (Approximately 4 hours)
02
Step
15 mins
After refrigeration, divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions. Gently form each portion into a thin patty. Place 1 slice of mozzarella cheese on top of 4 patties, leaving a small border around the edges to allow for sealing. If necessary, break the cheese into smaller pieces to fit. Top each cheese-covered patty with one of the remaining patties. Carefully pinch the edges of each burger together to completely seal in the cheese.
03
Step
14 mins
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the assembled burgers to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the burgers until they are nicely browned and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), approximately 6 to 7 minutes per side. This ensures the beef is cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.
04
StepOnce cooked, remove the pizza burgers from the skillet and place them on fresh hamburger buns. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of pizza flavor in every bite!
