 MAMA MIA, IT’S A PIZZA . . . BURGER! Pizza and burgers… Two of America’s favorites combined in one! Your kids can help you make these super easy burgers, and I am confident that they will be more than happy to help you eat them!

 

Ingredients:

 1/3 cup chopped fresh mushrooms (You could also add other toppings you like on your pizza, like onions, green peppers, black olives, etc.)
12 slices turkey pepperoni
2 tbsp. tomato paste
1 egg white
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/3 cup Italian-style bread crumbs

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan.
  2. In a food processor, combine the mushrooms (and any other vegetables), pepperoni, and tomato paste. Cover and pulse until blended. (If you do not have a food processor, you can just chop the pepperoni and mushrooms/other vegetables into small pieces and mix into the tomato paste.)
  3. Transfer to a bowl and stir in breadcrumbs, egg white, salt and pepper. Add beef and mix well with hands. Shape into five patties. Each patty will be about 1/2 cup meat mixture (more or less depending on if you added vegetables or not).
  4. Spray grill with cooking spray. Grill burgers for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked to desired doneness.
  5. In the last couple of minutes of cooking the burgers, place one slice of cheese on top of each patty and allow to melt.
  6. Meanwhile, toast the English muffins.
  7. Place burger with cheese on the toasted English muffin. Top each burger with one tablespoon pizza sauce and serve warm.
