New York Pizza Bagel Burger

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay pepperoni slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy. Set aside.

Using a meat grinder, grind the hot dogs and the New York strip steak together into a mixing bowl.

Gently mix the ground meats together and form into two equal-sized balls.

Heat cooking oil on a griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the meat balls on the hot surface and smash them into thin patties using a burger press or spatula.

Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until a good crust forms. Top each patty with sliced mozzarella cheese and place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.

In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped chives. Mix until well combined.

Toast the bagel halves. Spread the chive cream cheese on the cut side of both halves.

On the bottom bagel, layer one cheesy patty, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, and a spoonful of marinara sauce. Repeat with the second patty, more marinara, and top with the crispy pepperoni.

Place the top half of the bagel on top, slice in half, and serve immediately.
