- 1/2 tsp fennel seeds, crushed
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Directions:

- For a charcoal grill, grill patties on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 14 to 18 minutes or until no longer pink (165°F)
- Turn once halfway through grilling. Top each patty with a pepperoni slice and then a cheese slice for the last 1 to 2 minutes of grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill.)
- Reduce heat to medium. Place patties on grill rack over heat. (Cover and grill as above.)
- To assemble, place grilled patties on bun bottoms. Top with basil, pizza sauce, and bun tops.
