Pizza Burger

Pizza and burgers.  Almost everybody likes them so why not put them together in a single dish?  This recipe uses our Pastamore Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar and our Pastamore Pizza Sauce.  If you don't have the time or resources to make a pizza, this is a tasty substitute.

Ingredients:   serves 3-4
1 lb - ground beef
4 oz - shredded mozzarella cheese
1 Tbsp - Pastamore Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 tsp - salt
1/4 tsp - black pepper
1/8 tsp - garlic powder
3-4 - buns
3-4 oz - Pastamore Pizza Sauce

Directions:
1.  Combine ground beef, spices, and Pastamore Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar in a large mixing bowl.  Mix by hand until all ingredients are evenly distributed.  Form the mixture into 3 or 4 patties.

2.  Heat a large frying-pan on the stove over medium-high heat.  Once the pan is hot, add the patties to the pan.  Cook until the first side has gotten a nice sear and color.  Turn over, and continue to cook.  When the burgers are 2-3 minutes away from reaching your desired doneness, top each burger with 1 oz of shredded mozzarella cheese.

3.  Heat the Pastamore Pizza Sauce in a small pan or in the microwave.

4.  Place the burger on the bottom half of the bun, and top each burger with 1 ounce (2 Tbsp) of sauce.  Add a little extra sauce if you like a saucy burger or pizza. Top with the top bun and serve immediately.  Enjoy!
