Old School Pizza Burgers – A Nostalgic Twist on a Classic Comfort Food


  • Author: Mary

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1 cup pizza sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

  • 6 hamburger buns, halved

  • 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

  • Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. Cook the Ground Beef:
    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess grease to prevent sogginess.

  3. Add Pizza Sauce & Seasoning:
    Stir in the pizza sauce and Italian seasoning, mixing until the beef is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Assemble the Pizza Burgers:
    Place the halved hamburger buns cut side up on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the pizza beef mixture evenly over each bun half. Top with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese.

  5. Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bun edges are slightly crisp.

  6. Serve:
    Let the pizza burgers cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm.
