This is very different from the traditional hamburger patty, but if your kids enjoy both burgers and pizza, then they'll love this. Mine certainly do! Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef |
1 pound ground pork |
1 1/2 cups dried bread crumbs |
2 eggs, beaten |
1 cup chopped onion |
1 cup chopped green bell pepper |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
2 teaspoons italian-style seasoning |
1 teaspoon dried sage |
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder |
3/4 cup pizza sauce |
2 cups chopped stewed tomatoes |
1/4 cup chopped fresh mushrooms |
1/4 (2 ounce) can chopped black olives, drained |
1 (8 ounce) package sliced pepperoni sausage |
12 slices mozzarella cheese |
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, eggs, onion, green bell pepper, salt, ground black pepper, Italian-style seasoning, sage, garlic powder, 1/2 cup pizza sauce and stewed tomatoes. Mix well and form into 24 patties using a 1/4 cup measuring cup OR an ice cream scoop.
3. In a separate small bowl, combine the mushrooms and olives and set aside. Arrange 12 patties on 2 ungreased baking sheets. Place 4 slices of pepperoni on each patty, then a small amount of the mushroom olive mixture, and then a slice of mozzarella cheese. Top each patty off with another patty and pinch the edges all around to seal everything into the middle. Finally, top each with a drizzle of remaining pizza sauce and some shredded mozzarella cheese.
4. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 30 to 40 minutes.
