Pizza Burgers

*The steak seasoning I use contains sea salt, black pepper, garlic, coriander seed, mustard seed, dill seed, and red pepper.

For the Pizza Burgers: Use your hands to combine the ground beef, grated onion, steak seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and Italian herb seasoning in a large bowl, being careful not to over-mix the meat. Divide the meat into 4 portions and shape each into a patty.

Grill the burgers over medium-high heat until done (hamburger meat should be cooked until it’s no longer pink in the center), about 4 to 5 minutes per side. When the burgers have about 2 minutes left to cook on the second side, spoon about 3 tablespoons of Chunky Pizza Sauce on top of each, and then top each with 1 ounce of cheese. Cover the grill (or tent a piece of foil over the burgers) so the cheese melts.

Transfer the burgers onto the buns and sprinkle the parsley on top of the cheese. Serve the burgers along with the rest of the Chunky Pizza Sauce for dipping.

For the Chunky Tomato Sauce: Preheat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian herb seasoning, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently and using a wooden spoon to break up the tomato pieces a bit. Use the sauce in the recipe for Pizza Burgers.
