Pepperoni Pizza Burger Bomba

This could be the family's new favorite treat. When kids see these beefy, cheesy bombas, they'll want to ditch their knives and forks and dig right in with their hands. Preparation is simple: They're stuffed and folded just like dumplings, using Scamorza cheese, pepperoni, pizza sauce and a burger patty.

Ingreadient

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste 
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 
  • One 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes 
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • Kosher salt and black pepper

Direction

  1. For the sauce: To a small saucepan over low heat add the oil and garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the tomato paste and seasoning, and mash with the back of a wooden spoon. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes, then remove from the heat.
  2. For the burger: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Preheat oven to 550 degrees F with pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven.
  3. Form the meat into four 4-ounce patties and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until medium, then remove from the heat and place on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  4. Divide the pizza dough into four 4-ounce balls. Press out each ball on a floured pizza peel to about a 5-inch round. Top each with a slice of scamorza, a couple slices of pepperoni, then 1 burger patty and 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce. Fold the dough over the burger as if making a large dumpling. Brush with olive oil. Bake on the pizza stone in the oven until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with extra tomato sauce on the side to dip.
