I love this recipe; juicy burgers are filled with a tomato and pepperoni mixture, then topped with melted cheese. Yum.

Prepare and heat grill. Combine ground beef, Italian seasonings and salt in large bowl and mix gently. Form into 12 thin patties. Combine pepperoni, 1/3 cup pizza sauce, and Parmesan cheese in small bowl. Divide among 6 patties within 1/2" of pattie edges. Top with remaining patties and press edges together to seal.
