Prepare the Burgers:
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef (or turkey/chicken) with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, then form into 4 equal patties.
Cook the Burgers:
Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of mozzarella cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
Make the Pizza Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix the pizza sauce with red pepper flakes and dried oregano. Set aside.
Toast the Buns:
In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Toast the hamburger buns until golden brown.
Assemble the Burgers:
Spread a generous amount of pizza sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cheesy burger patty on top, then add pepperoni and any additional toppings you desire. Finish with the top half of the bun.
