What Pizza Burgers Taste Like

Imagine a rich, savory, meaty sauce with beef and sausage, simmered with mushrooms, garlic, onions, and marinara—piled high on toasty English muffins that stay crisp despite all the glorious sauce. Then everything gets crowned with melty mozzarella and pepperoni before being broiled to golden perfection.

The flavors? Bold, cheesy, smoky, garlicky, Italian-inspired perfection.
The texture? Toasty, saucy, hearty, gooey… basically pizza burger heaven.

They smell so incredible while simmering that I always end up hovering over the skillet wishing dinner would magically cook faster!
