Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 pound Italian sausage (a little more is fine!)
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
12 slices provolone
16 slices pepperoni
Thinly sliced red onion, for topping
1 green bell pepper, sliced thick
Sliced black olives, for topping
8 tablespoons jarred marinara sauce, plus a little more
4 kaiser rolls or good hamburger buns (kaiser rolls from the bakery section)
Butter, for toasting
Grated Parmesan (store bought)
Directions
- Combine the ground beef, Italian sausage and Italian seasoning in a bowl. Knead the mixture together and form it into four large/thick patties.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the burgers on one side for several minutes, then turn the burgers. Lay 2 slices of provolone on each patty, followed by 4 slices of pepperoni. Add a couple of thin slices of red onion, a slice of green bell pepper and a pile of black olives. Spoon a little marinara sauce on top, then lay another slice of cheese on top of all the fillings.
- Place the lid on the skillet and allow the burgers to cook all the way through while the cheese melts and the pepperoni warms.
- Split the rolls and toast them in butter in a skillet until nice and golden and crisp. Spread both halves with more marinara sauce and sprinkle the sauce with Parmesan.
- Lay the patties on the bottom buns, then top with the top buns. Serve immediately; hearty appetites are recommended!
