Old School Pizza Burgers
A delicious recipe combining the flavors of pizza and burgers, perfect for family meals.
Equipment
- Baking sheet For placing the buns before baking.
- Skillet For browning the beef.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 oz beef luncheon meat, grated
- 2 cups spaghetti sauce Ragu recommended
- 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese or American cheese
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 1.5 tsp dried oregano
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.125 tsp pepper
- 12 count plain hamburger buns
- 1 cup grated cheese combination of American and Mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink, then drain the fat. This helps reduce grease in your final dish.
- Add the grated luncheon meat to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- Stir in the spaghetti sauce and your choice of cheese. Mix well until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is bubbly. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
- Place all the hamburger bun halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. This allows for even toasting and easy serving.
- Spoon the desired amount of the meat and cheese mixture onto each bun half, making sure to pile it high for extra flavor.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese combination on top of each bun. This extra layer of cheese makes everything even more delicious!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Pizza Burgers!
Notes
For a twist, you can add some sliced pickles, lettuce, or tomatoes to your cheesy hamburger buns before baking for extra flavor and freshness.
