Equipment

  • Griddle

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground italian pork sausage
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Tastefully Simple Mama Mia Marinara seasoning
  • 12 slices mozzarella cheese
  • Pizza toppings of your choice like pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, onions, etc.
  • 1.5 cup Pizza Sauce divided into 1 cup and 1/2 cup
  • 6 burger buns
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Make the Meat Mixture: Combine ground beef and pork. Mix in Mama Mia Marinara Seasoning, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup of pizza sauce.
  • Prep the Patties: MDivide the ground beef into 6 equal portions, about 1/3 pound each. Roll each portion into a ball. Do not flatten; we'll be smashing them later!
  • Cook the Smashburgers: Heat your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil. Place the beef balls onto the griddle and press them down firmly with a burger smasher or a heavy spatula. This is the "smash" in smashburger. Let them cook until a crust forms on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Flip and Cheese: Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of mozzarella cheese on each. Allow them to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melty and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Pizza-fy your Smashburgers: Now, add your pizza toppings onto each burger. Add another slice of mozzarella cheese on top of the toppings to keep them in place. Cover the griddle or use a large metal bowl over the burgers to create a bit of steam. This helps the cheese melt and the toppings to warm up.
  • Assemble the Burgers: While the burgers are finishing up, lightly toast the buns on the griddle. Then, place each burger on a bun, topping it off with the other half. Press down lightly to secure everything in place.

Notes

Serve and Enjoy: Serve your delicious Blackstone Pizza Smashburgers immediately while they are still warm and the cheese is gooey. Enjoy the perfect blend of a pizza and a burger in each bite!
