Ingredients and Their Roles

For the Burger Base:

6 burger buns (cut in half): The foundation of your pizza burgers. Opt for soft buns to soak up the sauce and keep the texture light.

500g ground beef or turkey: The star protein that provides hearty flavor and structure. Choose lean ground meat for a balanced texture.

For the Pizza Topping:

1 cup pizza sauce: The zesty layer that brings the classic pizza flavor. Choose a high-quality sauce or make your own for added depth.

1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese: The melty topping that creates that signature pizza gooeyness.

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning: A blend of herbs that ties the pizza flavors together.

1 teaspoon garlic powder: Adds a savory kick that enhances the overall taste.

½ cup diced pepperoni or cooked sausage (optional): A savory addition for meat lovers who crave extra bold flavors.

½ cup chopped veggies (bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions): Perfect for adding crunch and a burst of color.
