Grilled Pizza Burgers

Does anyone else remember those pizza burgers you used to be able to get from the Schwan's man a long time ago? I'm talking at least 20 years. My parents ordered them often and would pan fry them. They were sooo good. I've never had a pizza burger like them. Those frozen patties inspired the creation of these burgers, although they don't taste quite the same.

These pizza burgers are my favorite burgers when we need something different. I love the gooey cheese in the middle. The farmer likes it when I add some pepperonis and pickled banana peppers in his. I like to serve them on buns toasted with butter and garlic salt. The recipe calls for you to grill them, but I've broiled them in the oven and pan fried them before.
