3. Add Pepperoni:
Stir in the sliced pepperoni and let it heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
4. Toast the Buns:
While the meat mixture simmers, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a skillet or oven for extra crunch.
5. Assemble the Sloppy Joes:
Spoon the pepperoni pizza mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, then cover with the top half of the bun.
6. Serve:
