How to Make a Pizza Burger?

Step 1: Combine the Ingredients

Add cooked ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, pizza sauce, and oregano in a large bowl. Mix everything well with a spoon.

You can use it immediately and make a burger, but for best results, refrigerate the mixture for 3-4 hours, so the flavors combine greatly and give an epic taste to your burger.

Step 2: Make the Burger Patties

Take out the refrigerated mixture and make thin patties. Ensure the patty is not too thick because it is not a burger but a PIZZA BURGER!
