Is there anything better than combining your two favorite foods? Well, that’s what I have done with my gluten-free pizza burgers! The combination of ground beef and ground pork makes for the perfect burger! Plus, it’s hard to beat melted mozzarella and crispy pepperoni on the perfect gluten-free bun!
Gluten-Free Pizza Burgers Recipe

US Wellness Shopping List: 85% Lean Ground Beef, Mozzarella Cheese, Ground Pork
Ingredients
- 12 oz US Wellness Meats Ground Beef (85% Lean), 8 1/2 or leaner
- 4 oz Ground Pork
- 1 tsp dried Basil
- 1 tsp dried Oregano
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 4 Hamburger Buns: I love the gluten-free buns from O’doughs
- 1/2 cup Pizza Sauce
- 8 pieces Fresh Mozzarella, thinly sliced
- 16 pieces Pepperoni
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork until well blended. Then, add the seasonings. Shape the mixture into four evenly sized patties and set aside.
- Place a pan on the stove over medium heat. Once hot, add your patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until you reach the desired doneness.
- While the burgers are cooking, prep your toppings and the oven:
- Warm up your pizza sauce on the stove or in a microwave.
- Slice your fresh mozzarella into thin slices.
- Slice open your burger buns.
- Turn your broiler on high.
- Take your burger buns and lay them on a baking sheet. Spread some of the pizza sauce on the bottom bun and lay down a piece of mozzarella. Place the buns under the broiler until toasted and the mozzarella bubbles.
- Pull the buns back out of the oven and take the tops off the pan.
- Place a burger patty on top of the melted cheese on the bottom bun. Then top the burger with a little bit more sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni slices. Place back under the broiler until the cheese is melted!
- Serve immediately so the buns don’t get soggy, and enjoy!
