Ingredients:
2 lbs. lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. chopped pepperoni (about 1 oz.)
2 Tbsp. sliced ripe olives
1/2 c. pizza sauce
6 slices (3/4 oz. each) mozzarella cheese, cut in half diagonally
6 burger buns, split, toasted
6 leaves lettuce
Directions:
Heat gas or charcoal grill. In a large bowl, mix ground beef and salt. Shape mixture into 12 thin patties, each about 4 inches in diameter.
In a small bowl, mix pepperoni, olives and 1/3 c. of the pizza sauce. Spoon rounded tablespoon pepperoni mixture onto center of 6 patties; spread slightly. Top with remaining patties; press edges together firmly to seal.
Place patties on grill; cover grill. Cook with medium heat for 8-12 minutes, turning once, until thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160 degrees (avoid inserting in filling). During last 1-2 minutes of cooking time, top each patty with cheese and rounded teaspoon of remaining pizza sauce, and place buns, cut side down, on grill; cook until cheese is melted and buns are slightly toasted.
To serve, place lettuce and patties on bottom halves of buns. Cover with top halves of buns.
