BROILED PIZZA BURGERS

Broiled Pizza Burgers image

My mother made Broiled Pizza Burgers when I was growing up. We like them for Sunday supper, and they're even faster to fix if you use pre-browned hamburger from the freezer. We sometimes substitute slices of cheddar for the process cheese. -Mrs. Ann Bailes, Anderson, South Carolina
