The Sunday Funday Bloggers are Grilling today.......

Stacy of Food Lust People Love invited us all to join her in sharing Grilling Recipes today.  We grill nearly every meal during the summer so easy peasy....the hardest part was coming up with a recipe I hadn't already shared.  Let's see what the others grilled up........

• Basque Pipérade with Grilled Tuna Steaks from Culinary Adventures with Camilla
• Grilled Eggplant with Garlic and Parmesan from Karen's Kitchen Stories
• Spicy Grilled Leg of Lamb from Food Lust People Love
• Stuffed Pizza Burgers from A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Tandoori Gobi - Cauliflower Made On Gas Stove from Sneha’s Recipe
• Tandoori Masala - Spice Mixture from Mayuri's Jikoni
• Tequila Lime Chicken from Amy's Cooking Adventures
• Vietnamese Lemongrass Pork Kebabs from Palatable Pastime

I saw a photo of a pizza burger on facebook.  It was a burger topped with mozzarella cheese and pizza sauce.  I thought that a pizza burger sounded good but that I would definitely add a little more pizzazz to a pizza burger.  I decided to toss together some Mozzarella with Italian Herbs and some quartered Pepperonis and use this as a stuffing for my burgers.

Then I decided to grill up some of my favorite pizza toppings.  In my case this is Mushrooms, Onions and Peppers.  You can add whatever toppings you would like.  The Teen suggests a Grilled Pineapple Slice next time.  Yes....she is one of those......

I had envisioned an ooey gooey gush of cheese when I cut the burger but that didn't happen, as you can see.  The flavor was there but the cheese kind of melted into the burger.  Next time I will use a slice of fresh Mozzarella, sprinkled with the seasoning and topped with several Pepperoni.  Hopefully, that will acheive the wow factor I was looking for.  

I will let you know how that works out because I will definitely be making these burgers again....and yes, I will grill a pineapple slice for the spoiled rotten Teen that lives in my house LOL.
