1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
Cooking spray
4 buns, fresh from the bakery
Butter as needed to spread on top bun

Sliced fresh mozzarella cheese

Combine the first 5 ingredients in a bowl and mix well with your hands and form into 4 patties. Heat broiler. Slice buns in half, spread top half with butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.

Broil buns, cut side up until a little brown on the edges. Heat a nonstick grill pan or skillet to medium/med high. Coat with cooking spray.

Cook burgers to desired doneness and when just about finished, cover burgers with slices of the mozzarella. Place burger on bottom bun, spread pizza sauce on top bun and put it all together
