So you think a juicy burger sounds good? Try this pepperoni pizza burger instead and let your taste buds go crazy! So delicious!
What is it about pepperoni that makes kids go wild? It’s funny to me that our littlest doesn’t really like cheese pizza, but you add pepperoni and she can’t get to it fast enough. I mean, every other bite of pizza is just cheese pizza! I haven’t sold her on burgers yet so while we were visiting my parents earlier this year we made a pepperoni pizza burger.
The whole family loved it! The secret to really taking this burger up a notch is in the pepperoni. Don’t just throw it on there. First, lay them out between two paper towels and microwave for 15 seconds so they get a little crisp around the edges. It adds a little texture to the burger I’m sure you’ll love.

Thank you Stephanie! We will look into it!
My grandson has just discovered pepperoni. He wants it on everything. I think I’m going to get Grandma of the week for this one!
Haha, that’s so cute!
Hi Carrian:
This looks good! I’ll definitely be trying them.
Have you tried putting the cheese, chopped up pepperoni and pizza sauce into the burger itself? If she can taste pepperoni with every bite, she may like it.
Also, try her on a thin burger that is the size of a slider. It might not seem so daunting.
If she can make them with you, it may help. Let her judge how much pepperoni, also what kind and how much cheese she wants the hamburger to have. Tell her the hamburger helps it to stick together.
the more junk u put on food the more u can’t taste the food next time u make a burger just a little salt to bring out the naural flavor of the beef it has a more beefy taste . many thanks billy
Great tips! Thank you!
