Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl combine Italian sausage, ground beef, the chopped pepperoni, and the salt; mix well. Using your clean hands, shape meat mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.

For a charcoal or gas grill, grill patties on the rack of a covered grill directly over medium heat for 14 to 18 minutes or until done (160 degrees F),* turning once halfway through grilling time. Toast bread slices on the grill.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan heat pizza sauce over low heat.

Serve burgers between toasted bread slices topped with sauce, cheese, and, if desired, pepperoni slices.
