Ingredients
- 4 Dempster’s® Signature Classic Burger Buns
- 8 oz (250 g) lean ground beef
- 8 oz (250 g) Italian sausages, casing removed
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup (250 mL) sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) pizza sauce, heated
- 1 oz (30 g) mini pepperoni slices
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
Directions
- Mix together ground beef and sausages. Divide into 4 portions; shape each portion into a 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick patty.
- Heat oil in a large skillet set over medium heat; cook burgers, turning halfway through, for 5 to 7 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre of the burger reads 160°F (71°C). Top each burger with a cheese slice. Cover and cook for 30 to 60 seconds or until the cheese melts. Remove burgers from pan; keep warm.
- Increase heat to medium-high; cook mushrooms for 4 to 5 minutes or until slightly softened.
- Assemble burgers in buns with pizza sauce, mushrooms and pepperoni. Tip: Substitute sautéed onions and peppers for the mushrooms, or your favourite pizza toppings, as preferred.
