Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Form into four equal patties, pressing the center to prevent puffing during cooking.
Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach desired doneness.
Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of marinara sauce on each patty, then place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top. Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
Place each patty on a toasted bun. Add additional pizza toppings such as pepperoni slices, black olives, and a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
