Mamma Mia Burger

This is my second burger from the Cheese and Burger Society. The combination of pizza sauce, mushrooms, pepperoni, onions, and mozzarella is great!


I used our favorite home-made pizza sauce. You can substitute a pre-made sauce if you like.

Makes: 2 burgers
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: Varies depending on desired doneness

Ingredients:

  • 1/2-1 pound fresh ground beef (recommend 75/25 or 80/20)
  • 4 slices fresh Mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 4 large button mushrooms, sliced
  • Pepperoni
  • 2 Hamburger buns
  • 1/2 medium white onion, sliced
  • 2 T butter, divided

1. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium skillet. Add mushrooms and sautee until tender, but still slightly crisp. Remove to a plate.

2. Add remaining butter to skillet and melt. Add onions and sautee until tender, but still slightly crisp. Remove.

3. Warm sauce in skillet.

4. Preheat grill to medium high. Form burger patties. Season, and grill until cooked to your desired doneness. Toast buns. Remove.
