- 1 lb ground beef

- 8 hamburger buns
directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Brown the beef in a large frying pan. Salt & pepper to taste.
- After the beef is done, drain the excess grease & then place back into the pan. Turn the heat onto low, add the pizza sauce & parmesan cheese, cook for 5 more minutes.
- Place the hamburger buns halves on a large baking sheet. Spoon the beef onto the halves & top with cheese.
- Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted. (I like the bottoms a little crispy so I cook it a little longer.).
- Variations: If you like veggies you could add onions & peppers to the beef while it is browning or top with mushrooms.

I was served this exact recipe in grade school about a million years ago...Fridays were pizza burgers and not one child brought their lunch on that day. I love them! Might just have to make them for the comforting memory! Thank you! -
I made this for 17 yo DS, who loved this burger!! I did do it a bit differently though, I grilled the burger and then topped with the mozzarella cheese to melt. I heated the pizza sauce, which I added the parmesan cheese to, in the microwave til it was warm. To finish it off, I topped the burger, which was on a bun, with the sauce. This is how it has been served to him at the restaurants here in town. Made for Stars Tag. -
These were great! They brought back memories of eating Pizza Burgers at Tony's in Saginaw when I was a child.... -
These were good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written. Next time I think I would make them and let the beef mixture sit so the sauce draws through the meat a bit more. We all enjoyed them.

I hadn't made pizza burgers before but remember eating them when I was little -although those were made with Italian sausage. These were quite simple to do and I think they were a little plain for our tastes, we kept thinking about ways to improve them, we'd definitely add garlic & black olives next time. This time I added a fresh green pepper, an onion and 1 to 2 teaspoons of pizza seasoning. I also toasted the buns in the broiler for one minute on each side after spraying them with olive oil cooking spray and used the broiler to melt the cheese. I really enjoyed the parm cheese in the mixture; I wouldn't have thought of that! My DS really enjoyed the flavors and I'll be making again for him and his friends - this certainly is a kid pleaser. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.
