Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 leftover hamburger buns
- 1 lb. Ground beef or pepperoni
- Pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- Italian seasoning
Instructions
Prepare All the Toppings
- Ground Beef: Start by browning your ground beef. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add your ground beef. Break it up with a spatula and cook until it's no longer pink. A dash of Italian seasoning.
- Pepperoni: If you're using pepperoni, you have a few options. Traditional pork pepperoni is a classic choice, but you can also opt for chicken or beef pepperoni, which are equally delicious and offer a different flavor profile. Slice your pepperoni thinly or use pre-sliced versions for convenience.
Assemble the Pizza Burgers

- Spread a generous amount of pizza sauce on each half.
- Top with either the browned ground beef or pepperoni slices.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
- Finish with a dash of Italian seasoning.
- Preheat your oven to 400 °F
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
