Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped vegan pepperoni slices
4 burger buns
Fresh basil, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
Cook the Patties: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the burger patties until they are browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. You don’t need to cook them through, as they will finish cooking in the crockpot.
Layer in Crockpot: Place the browned burger patties in the crockpot. Pour the pizza sauce over the patties, ensuring they are well-covered. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over the top.
Cook in Crockpot: Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the patties are cooked through and tender.
Add Cheese and Pepperoni: About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and chopped pepperoni over the patties. Cover and continue to cook until the cheese is melted.
Assemble the Burgers: Toast the burger buns if desired. Place each patty on a bun and spoon some of the pizza sauce from the crockpot over the top. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
Enjoy these Crockpot Pizza Burgers with your favorite side dishes for a meal that’s sure to impress!
