This recipe combines two of my favourite foods, pizza and burgers! I like a nice simple pepperoni pizza and these burgers include shredded pepperoni in the beef patties in addition to whole pepperoni on top of the patties. Once the patties have been cooked, they are topped with mozzarella and pepperoni before continuing to cook until the cheese has melted. The patties are placed into buns with pizza sauce to complete the pizza burger experience! These burgers are the perfect combination of the flavours of pepperoni pizza in burger form!
