2 lbs ground beef
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup chopped pepperoni
2 tbsp sliced ripe olives

Heat grill to medium heat. Combine first 2 ingredients and form into 12 thin patties. In a bowl, combine pepperoni, olives and 1/3 cup pizza sauce. Spread a rounded tbsp pepperoni mixture onto 6 patties; spread slightly and top with remaining patties; press edges firmly to seal. Place patties on grill; cover and cook on for 8-12 minutes, turning once.
