A delightful twist on the classic burger, combining the flavors of pizza with a juicy grilled patty.
Combine the ground beef, grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped onion, diced green pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
Add the tomato paste to the meat mixture and mix until evenly distributed. Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties.
If the mixture feels too wet, add a small amount of breadcrumbs to help bind it.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on one side.
Ensure the grill is properly preheated to achieve a good sear on the patties.
Flip the patties and place a slice of mozzarella cheese on each. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked through.
Cover the grill briefly to help the cheese melt evenly.
Serve the patties on toasted buns with slices of ripe tomato. Add any additional toppings of your choice.
Toast the buns on the grill for extra flavor and texture.
