Ingredients
  

For the burger patties
  • 1 pound Ground Beef You can use Halal ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
For assembling the burger
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup Marinara Sauce
  • 4 pieces Burger Buns Make sure they are Halal
  • Optional Toppings: Sliced bell peppers, onions, olives, or any favorite pizza toppings

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties slightly larger than your burger buns.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are nicely browned and cooked through to your desired doneness.
  2. In the last minute of cooking, spoon a tablespoon of marinara sauce onto each patty and top with a generous amount of mozzarella cheese. Cover to allow the cheese to melt.
Assembly
  1. Toast your burger buns lightly. Place the cheesy patty on the bottom bun, add any additional toppings like sliced bell peppers or olives, and finish it off with the top bun.
Serving
  1. Dig in while it's warm and enjoy the delightful fusion of burger and pizza!

Notes

You can swap half the ground beef for turkey or a plant-based alternative to lighten up this recipe. Keep your patties at an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking. Make sure not to overmix the meat mixture to avoid dense patties.
