Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Garnish with parsley and serve.
