How to Make Pizza Burgers

Create Flavorful Meat Base
Combine meats and seasonings for rich pizza-inspired flavor.
Prepare English Muffin Foundation
Toast for texture and arrange for building individual servings.
Layer Pizza Components
Systematically add sauce, meat, and toppings for balanced flavor.
Bake to Melted Perfection
Heat until cheese reaches ideal melty, bubbly consistency.
Baking Tips
For extra flavor, toast the English muffins with a bit of garlic butter before adding toppings.
Make it a build-your-own pizza burger bar by setting out various toppings for family members to customize their own.
Use leftover meatballs, crumbled and heated, as a quick substitute for the ground meat mixture.
For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey for the beef and use reduced-fat cheese.
These can be made ahead and frozen before baking - just add a few extra minutes to the baking time when cooking from frozen.

Ingredients

Custard Cream
01
1 pound ground beef
02
1/2 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
03
1/2 cup diced onion
04
2 cloves garlic, minced
05
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
06
1/2 teaspoon salt
07
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
08
1 cup marinara sauce, divided
09
6 English muffins, split and toasted
10
1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
11
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
12
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
13
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (optional)
14
1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
15
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper (optional)

Instructions

01
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02
In a large skillet over medium heat, combine ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
03
Add onion and garlic to the meat mixture and cook until onion is softened, about 3-4 minutes.
04
Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of marinara sauce. Mix well and remove from heat.
05
Place the toasted English muffin halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.
06
Spread the remaining 1/2 cup marinara sauce evenly over each English muffin half.
07
Divide the meat mixture evenly among the English muffin halves, pressing slightly to compact.
08
Top each with pepperoni slices and optional toppings like black olives or green peppers if using.
09
Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top of each pizza burger.
10
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If desired, broil for the final 1-2 minutes for a golden brown top. Garnish with fresh basil if using and serve hot.
