Pizza Burgers, with Pizza Potato slices

This evening we had lots of direct heat, no slow cooking indirect smoking at all. Tonights dinner was 1/2lb Pizza burgers and foil wrapped potato slices with pizza flavourings added. You might say that it lots of pizza without actually having any pizza. Well maybe you are right, but it was still really good.


I Started off by making my hamburger patties. They consisted of close to 2lbs of ground beef. Mixed into that beef was ground up pepperoni, a spicy pizza sauce, Kraft parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. I formed this all into 1/2lb patties.


These went right on the grill, but I had to make sure to put them on lightly, these are big patties and I didn't want them crumbling on me. On medium hear I waited 10 minutes to flip these just to make sure they would flip without falling apart.


This is what they looked like after the first flip. The rear left one was really started to plump up, I would have preferred if they had stayed the same size, next time I will make them thinner. Those grill marks look great though. The potatoes were sliced and then wrapped individually for each potato. In the foil was pizza sauce, Ketchup, diced pepperoni, butter, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. These were first put on the grill right over high heat, after they puffed up they were moved to the warming rack. When it was time to take the burgers off, I didn't do it right away, instead to spooned on some pizza sauce and layered on some grated mozzarella. At this point I put the potatoes back down on the grill over medium heat. Then cheese buns went on the warming rack, and let that go until the cheese was melted on the burgers, then it was time to chow down.
