Napoleon Burgers

These Napoleon Burgers are not your typical burgers. A juicy beef patty, melted cheese, roasted peppers, pickles, onion, and homemade burger sauce are all wrapped inside soft homemade dough. The burgers are prepared on a Napoleon gas grill and finished on a pizza stone, giving the bread a beautiful golden-brown crust. They’re perfect for a weekend barbecue, summer gatherings, or whenever you want to make something a little different from the classic burger.

The Napoleon gas BBQ makes grilling quick, easy, and incredibly enjoyable. It heats up fast, offers excellent temperature control, and delivers perfectly grilled food every time.

Note

Why bake the burgers on a pizza stone?

The pizza stone gives the dough direct contact with a hot baking surface, helping the homemade bread cook evenly and develop a beautiful golden-brown crust.

Seal the dough well

This is especially important because the burgers contain a cooked patty, sauce, cheese, and vegetables. Make sure the edges are firmly sealed so the filling doesn't escape during baking.

Don't overfill them

It can be tempting to add lots of cheese and sauce, but too much filling can make the dough difficult to close and may cause it to open during baking.

Customize the filling

This recipe is easy to adapt. Try adding caramelized onions, bacon, jalapeños, mushrooms, or your favorite cheese.

Best served warm

These burgers are at their best while still warm, when the homemade bread is soft, the cheese is melted, and the filling is juicy.
