Ingredients

  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1 (8-oz.) can pizza sauce
  • 5 burger buns, split
  • 5 slices provolone cheese (about 8 oz.), quartered

Steps

  • 1
    Heat grill. In large bowl, combine ground beef, pepperoni, olives, bread crumbs, egg and 1/4 cup of the pizza sauce; mix well. Shape mixture into 5 patties, 1/2 inch thick.

    When ready to grill, place patties on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook 13 to 15 minutes or until thoroughly cooked, turning once.

    To toast buns, place cut sides down on grill during last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking time. Top each patty with cheese pieces; cook just until melted.

    Meanwhile, heat remaining pizza sauce in small saucepan over medium heat. Spread sauce on cut sides of toasted buns. Serve cheese-topped patties in buns.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To broil patties, place on broiler pan; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat using times above as a guide, turning patties once and placing buns on pan during last 1 to 2 minutes of broiling time. Top each patty with cheese pieces; broil just until melted.
  • tip 2
    These juicy burgers have the great taste of pizza tucked inside a neat-to-eat sandwich.
  • tip 3
    Serve shoestring potatoes and beans salad with these burgers. For dessert, combine cubes of cantaloupe, a little honey and orange juice in a blender container. Cover; blend until smooth. Serve over vanilla ice cream.
