Pizza Burgers combine the best of both worlds—juicy ground beef burgers smothered in flavorful pizza sauce, mushrooms, and melted mozzarella cheese, all served on toasted hamburger buns. This quick and easy recipe is perfect for a fun weeknight dinner or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat Mixture

  • 1–1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pizza sauce
  • 1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Buns and Cheese

  • 6 hamburger buns, split and toasted
  • 1–1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef Mixture: In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat over medium heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion, cooking until the beef is no longer pink, about 3-5 minutes. Break the beef into crumbles as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add Sauce and Seasonings: Stir in the pizza sauce, drained mushrooms, sugar, and dried oregano. Mix everything well to combine all the flavors thoroughly.
  3. Assemble the Burgers: Spoon the beef and pizza sauce mixture evenly onto the toasted hamburger buns. Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  4. Broil the Burgers: Place the assembled burgers on ungreased baking sheets. Position the baking sheets about 4 inches from the heat source in your oven’s broiler. Broil for approximately 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use part-skim mozzarella cheese for a balance of flavor and lower fat content.
  • Make sure to toast the buns before assembling to prevent sogginess.
  • Broil burgers closely and carefully to avoid burning the cheese.
  • You can customize toppings by adding sliced pepperoni or fresh basil for extra pizza flavor.
  • Drain excess grease from the cooked beef to keep burgers from being too oily.
