Recipe by Lindsay Funston Patty melts are such a relic of the 50s—until you update them with garlicky bread, marinara, melty mozzarella, and pepperoni and turn them into pizza melts.

Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp. canola oil
1 c. marinara
1/4 c. butter
4 slices white bread
4 slices mozzarella
1/2 c. pepperoni

Instructions

Make patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, 2 cloves garlic, and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Mix together well, then form 4 patties with your hands.
In a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat, heat oil. Cook patties, flipping once, until medium, 6 minutes per side. Drain fat.
Pour marinara into skillet and let simmer. In a second large skillet, melt butter. Add remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add bread and cook until golden.
Heat broiler. Assemble patty melts: On a baking sheet, add bread. Top with a burger patty, spoon over sauce, and top with a slice of mozzarella. Top with pepperoni and broil until cheese is melted and pepperoni is crispy, 3 minutes.
Garnish with parsley and serve.
