Pizza Burgers

When it comes to burgers, I usually stick with my old

faithful recipe and that burger is a mock, In N Out burger.

It is my children's favorite and when I make something

else...they get pretty upset. It's that good. This is a grown

up burger. Your taste buds will be singing.

Pizza Burger

3 tablespoon olive oil

2 large onions, thinly sliced

salt and pepper

garlic powder

1 small can of tomato paste

3/4 beef broth or red wine

1/4 cup of fresh parsley

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/2 cup pepperoni, finely chopped

1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin or turkey

3/4 cups Parmigiano Reggiano, grated

8 deli slices provolone

Buns, toasted

Cook onions in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until soft.

Add the tomato paste to the onions and cook 3 min

more. Then add the broth to onions and paste and

cook until broth is evaporated. Turn heat off and

reserve.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sirloin,

pepperoni, parsley, garlic powder, oregano and red

pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Form

4 patties and cook in a skillet with one tablespoon of

olive oil.

Toast your buns. Place meat on your buns and top with

onions and grated parm and 2 slices of provolone and

place on a cookie sheet in the oven and melt the cheese

and top with the other bun. I served mine with marinara

on the side. Enjoy!
