Deluxe Pizza Burgers

New BBQ √

Warm weather √

Delicious food ready to grill √

Friends, it’s BBQ season! Are you ready?

I’ve been anxiously waiting to get my grill on. We picked up a new BBQ this past week and I’ve been imagining all the yummy recipes I was going to make. I pictured a summer full of backyard parties with friends and family where I could show off my grilling skills and share some new recipes.

Deluxe Pizza Burgers

I knew exactly which recipe I wanted to make first: Deluxe Pizza Burgers. Burgers and BBQs go together like peanut butter and jelly. You can’t have one without the other, at least in my humble opinion!

I picked up a bunch of my ingredients at M&M Food Market. If you are grilling this summer, you need to visit your local store. They have a ton of products perfect for grilling season. They are currently running their “Let’s Figure Out BBQ” campaign to help Canadians make the most of grilling season. I’m all stocked up for summer now with a freezer full of items just waiting for me to grill and serve to my family and friends.

    My family could not get enough of these Deluxe Pizza Burgers. They are a delicious and filling combination of two of my favourite foods: pizza and burgers.

    Plus, they are easy to make with most of the toppings cooked on the grill alongside the meat. I picked up a bag of Diced Onions. Cook them right from frozen with a little bit of butter in a grill basket lined with aluminum foil. They are perfect for burgers and best of all, you don’t have to chop or peel. I always cry when I cut onions.

    Grilled mushrooms and green peppers anyone? I love the smoky flavour grilling gives to fresh veggies. I used a grilling grid and basket to cook them. And yes, I made extra mushrooms for a side dish to our burgers.

    I heated the bacon and pepperoni on the grill for about a minute. I purchased the Fully Cooked Bacon that only requires you to heat it up in the microwave. I took mine to the grill instead to save me from running back inside the house.

    You can’t have a deluxe pizza without the sausage. These Mild Italian Sausages add a bit of spice to the burger. They grill perfectly from frozen in about 20 minutes.

    The burgers are the stars of the show. M&M Food Market has a fabulous selection of burgers so it was a hard choice for me to decide which ones to use. I settled on the Angus Beef Burgers with their thick, juicy and flavourful patties. Each side takes about 7 minutes each to grill to perfection.

    My “Burger Bar” was ready to go! People can pick and choose which toppings they want on their Deluxe Pizza Burgers. For me, I loaded mine with EVERYTHING to get the full taste experience.

    The Mozza Marinara Dip makes the perfect pizza sauce. I love that it has mozzarella cheese mixed in.

    During the last minute of grilling, I added a slice of mozzarella cheese to the burgers. It melts so quickly so you don’t want to leave it on the grill too long.

    On the other hand, grilling the sausage is a must. It’s my favourite way to cook it.
