Pizza burger

Here’s a fun and tasty Pizza Burger 🍔🍕 — all the flavors of pizza in a juicy burger!

Servings: 2–3
Time: ~20–25 minutes

1 lb ground beef (or turkey/chicken)
Salt & pepper, to taste
4 burger buns
4 slices mozzarella cheese (or provolone)
½ cup pizza sauce or marinara
Optional toppings: pepperoni slices, sliced olives, mushrooms, bell peppers, fresh basil
Optional: butter for toasting buns

Form & cook patties
- Divide ground beef into 2–3 equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than buns.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook in a skillet or on a grill over medium heat 4–5 minutes per side, until desired doneness.
Add cheese
- During the last 1–2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of mozzarella on each patty and cover to melt.
Toast buns (optional)
- Lightly butter the buns and toast in a skillet until golden.
Assemble burgers
- Spread pizza sauce on the bottom bun.
- Add cooked patty with melted cheese.
- Add optional toppings (pepperoni, veggies, basil).
- Top with the other bun.
Serve
- Serve hot with fries, salad, or chips.

Extra cheesy: Add shredded mozzarella over the patty before topping with the bun.
Pepperoni pizza burger: Layer a few slices of pepperoni on the patty under the cheese.
Veggie twist: Add sautéed mushrooms, peppers, or onions.
Mini sliders: Make smaller patties on slider buns for party snacks.

I can also give you a baked pizza burger casserole version where all the ingredients are layered in a pan for a quick family meal.

Do you want me to give that version?
