Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Mozzarella can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

Grease grill grate. Heat grill to medium.
Combine the shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, 1/2 cup pizza sauce and oregano in a large bowl. Crumble beef over mixture; mix just until combined. Form into six patties, about 1/3 pound each. Season with salt and pepper.
Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat for 5-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer inserted into patties reads 160°F. Top with mozzarella slices. Cover and cook for 1-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
Spread remaining pizza sauce on bun bottoms; top with burgers and toppings if desired. Replace bun tops.
