Instructions

  • Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, gather the ground beef, ground Italian sausage, Italian breadcrumbs, and salt. Mix everything until well combined.
  • Shape Patties: Divide the combined meat mixture into six equal portions. Shape each into a patty, making them slightly larger than the burger buns.
  • Preheat the Skillet: Set your cast-iron skillet to medium heat and preheat your broiler to 500°F.
  • Cook Patties: Place the patties in the hot skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until browned.
  • Add Toppings: After flipping, top each patty with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices. Let the cheese melt.
  • Broil to Perfection: Transfer the skillet to the oven under the broiler. Broil for 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted.
  • Assemble the Burgers: On each bun bottom, spread pizza sauce, place a patty, add banana pepper slices and basil, and top with the other half.

Notes

Serve with a side of crispy fries for an ultimate comfort feast. Ensure each patty is larger than the bun to avoid shrinking.
