Description
Frozen Pizza Burgers combine two beloved weeknight favorites: juicy, seasoned beef burgers and mini frozen pizzas. Each pizza crust is topped with a flavorful burger patty, luscious pizza sauce, melted mozzarella, and mini pepperoni, then baked to perfection for a delicious and fun meal that’s easy to prepare in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Frozen Pizza Burgers
- 4 frozen mini pizzas (or halved personal pizza crusts)
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup mini pepperoni slices
Instructions
- Prepare the burger patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder. Shape the mixture evenly into 4 burger patties.
- Cook the patties: Grill or pan-cook the patties over medium heat until they reach your desired doneness, approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium. Ensure they are cooked through.
- Bake the frozen pizzas: Preheat your oven and bake the frozen mini pizzas according to the package instructions, typically 10-12 minutes, until the crust is crisp and cheese begins to bubble.
- Assemble the pizza burgers: Remove the baked pizzas from the oven. On each pizza, place a cooked burger patty, then spoon half a tablespoon of pizza sauce over the patty. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly on top, and finish with mini pepperoni slices.
- Melt the cheese: Return the assembled pizzas with burgers to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the mozzarella melts and becomes gooey.
Notes
- For a meat-free version, substitute the ground beef patties with veggie burgers.
- Feel free to add additional toppings like sliced olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers according to taste.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your oven and burger thickness; use a meat thermometer for best results.
- Serve hot immediately for the best gooey cheese experience.
