Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 2 tbsp Butter (softened)
• 0.5 tsp Dried oregano
• 4 pieces Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until evenly combined.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, pressing slightly thinner in the center to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked to your preferred doneness. During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle each patty with shredded mozzarella cheese, allowing it to melt.

Step 5

While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns. Spread softened butter on the cut sides of the buns and sprinkle with dried oregano. Toast them on the grill or a skillet until golden-brown.

Step 6

Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until hot.

Step 7

To assemble, place a burger patty on the bottom half of each bun. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce over the patty, followed by a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 8

Top with fresh basil leaves if using, then place the other half of the bun on top.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Two Cheese Pizza Burgers with your favorite sides!
