Best Weeknight Pizza Burgers Recipes

WEEKNIGHT PIZZA BURGERS

Steps:

• Thinly slice cheese.
• Make patties out of the hamburger.
• Season with salts and pepper to taste.
• Fry or grill burgers until mostly done.
• Empty the sauce into a large fry pan or sauce pan.
• Add the mostly cooked burgers to the sauce and simmer for 10 minutes or until done.
• Place pepperoni and a couple slices of mozzarella on top of the burgers and cover for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
• While burgers simmer, lightly butter or oil 4 buns; toast them on the grill.
• Serve on buns with a little sauce.

HOMEMADE PIZZA BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine beef, tomato paste, salt, sugar, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, pepper, and oregano in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate to let flavors marry, about 4 hours.
• Form beef mixture into 8 thin patties. Place 1 slice of mozzarella cheese on each of 4 patties; leave at least a 1/2-inch border, breaking up the cheese as needed. Place remaining patties on top and pinch edges to seal in the cheese.
• Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Fry burgers until browned and centers reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 6 to 7 minutes per side. Serve on buns.

EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE PIZZA BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Brown the beef in a large frying pan. Salt & pepper to taste.
• After the beef is done, drain the excess grease & then place back into the pan. Turn the heat onto low, add the pizza sauce & parmesan cheese, cook for 5 more minutes.
• Place the hamburger buns halves on a large baking sheet. Spoon the beef onto the halves & top with cheese.
• Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted. (I like the bottoms a little crispy so I cook it a little longer.).
• Variations: If you like veggies you could add onions & peppers to the beef while it is browning or top with mushrooms.

QUICK AND EASY PIZZA BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix together all ingredients from ground beef through pizza sauce.
• Separate the halves of the hamburger buns, placing each half face-up on a baking sheet.
• Spread the meat mixture on each of the hamburger bun halves. (I have found the fastest way to do this is using Pampered Chef's medium scoop and dividing the meat mixture between the bun halves; then, using the back of a large soup spoon, smooth the meat mixture evenly over the bun.).
• Top each with a slice of mozzarella.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
