Homemade Pizza Burger
Transform leftover hamburger buns into delicious pizza burgers by topping them with browned ground beef or pepperoni, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Italian seasoning, then baking until bubbly and golden.
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
- Split the hamburger buns and lay them out on a baking sheet.
- 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 350 °F
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
