Pizza Burger

1 package of frozen Texas toast slices
1 3/4 lbs ground beef
1 cup pizza sauce, divided
18 slices pepperoni
12 slices mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon butter

Top with:
sliced green pepper
ripe olives
grated Parmesan cheese

Prepare the six Texas toast slices according to
the package directions. Meanwhile, shape the beef
into 12 thin patties.
Top six patties with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce,
three slices of pepperoni, and one slice mozzarella
cheese. Top with remaining patties and press the
edges together.
Grill, covered, over medium heat for about 8
minutes on each side.
Meanwhile in a skillet, saute the mushrooms in
butter. Top each burger with a spoonful of pizza
sauce and one cheese slice. Cover and cook for 3
more minutes. Top the Texas toast with green peppers,
mushrooms, olives and Parmesan.

Servings: 6

That's a different twist on what we had as kids. We would make pizza in a cookie sheet, then cut it up into the size of sandwich bread and load it with burgers, cheese, sauteed veggies and more sauce. Sometimes we would take bulk Italian sausage and make patties instead of beef burgers. Great flavor and very "saucy sloppy."

i like the texas toast idea ....

This one is a little less sloppy.

Woooooooow, this sounds great, ChefTom!

Next time you make it, could you post some pictures, please????
