Instructions

1

Prepare the Patties

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined. Form into two equal-sized patties.

2

Cook the Patties

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

3

Add Pizza Sauce and Cheese

In the last minute of cooking, spoon pizza sauce over each patty and place a slice of American cheese on top. Cover the skillet to help melt the cheese.

4

Assemble the Burger

If using buns, toast them lightly. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese and sauce on the bottom bun, and top with fresh basil if desired. Place the top bun on and serve.

5

Serve

Serve the pizza burger hot, with additional pizza sauce on the side if desired.
