I love a good burger! I’m always trying to find a fun spin on the classics and I’m happy to say, I nailed it with this creation! When I was a kid, my family would frequent a staple pizza shop in my hometown called “Chuckwagon”. It’s kind of an unwritten rule that every time we visit home, we have to go. The pizzas are loaded with toppings and it’s just the most perfect pizza you could ever ask for! When we would visit with my Grandparents, my Grandpa would always get the pizza burger. That was my inspiration for this smash burger creation! The blend of Italian sausage, ground beef and the pepperoni mixed in was perfection! The gooey cheese, pizza sauce and toppings brought this burger over the top! Skip your pizza takeout this Friday and sizzle some of these instead!
