No! Not This!

Woah! When I say pizza burger, this is not what I mean...

While looking for inspiration for the perfect pizza burger recipe, I saw some pretty extreme foods, like the example above. To heck with eating something like that, I feel like I gained 5 lbs. just looking at the picture. Ugh.

But, I did find some good takes on this concept, such as the Barack Obama Pizza Burger by the M Street Bar and Grill in Washington, DC.

Ok, let's get started.

What would we add to a burger patty to give it a signature pizza flavor? Its gotta have a tomato sauce, and it has to be cheesy. I've got just the ticket for y'all!

The Perfect Pizza Burger Recipe

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a hot frying pan (medium high heat), cook the bacon thoroughly, but before it becomes crispy. Drain most of the bacon fat and set the rest aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bacon, shredded gouda and about 3 tbsp. of the marinara sauce. Mold the mixture into 4 large patties.
  4. Heat up your frying pan to the same temperature as before and place as many patties as you can to fit in the pan.
  5. While the patties are cooking, melt the garlic and butter in another pan.
  6. Cut the hamburger buns in half. Dip each bun half into the melted garlic butter as place them face-up on a cookie sheet.
  7. After the burgers have cooked for about 4 minutes, flip em' over in the pan. Top each patty with a tbsp. of marinara sauce and one slice of mozzarella.
  8. Place in the oven the cookie sheet with the bun halves and the entire frying pan containing your pizza burger patties.
  9. Let them all bake for about 5 minutes.
  10. Take everything out of the oven, put the burgers on the buns and you're done!

Try it - I guarantee you'll love it! As always, you can customize this pizza burger recipe to fit your own particular taste. Add some cayenne for a kick or top it with pepperoni or parmesan, this one is sure to satisfy!

I can't stop laughing. It's the little tiny cows that make me shoot milk out of my nose every time I see this commercial.
