Lunchroom Style Pizza Burgers
Delicious! These were so easy to make! My family loved them and hubby said they reminded him of his school cafeteria lunches! We gobbled them down and I will be making them again!
You could add any toppings to this mixture! It seems like a very versatile recipe! I bet mushrooms would be good sautéed with the veggies but my family doesn't like mushrooms! Chopped up pepperoni sounds good too! I used Muenster cheese but the original recipe called for Mozzarella! Awesome dinner!
Recipe adapted from Cooking With Carlee
1 pound lean ground beef
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 small green bell pepper, diced
cayenne pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (15 ounce) can pizza sauce, Chef Boyardee is great
8 hamburger buns
8 slices Muenster cheese
2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Preheat oven to 375°
In a large skillet, brown and crumble ground beef. Drain.
In the same skillet heat olive oil and add onion and green pepper. Season with cayenne pepper. Sauté until a little charred and soft.
Add beef back into skillet with veggies. Season with garlic powder. Stir in pizza sauce. Mix well.
Place buns on a sheet pan. Spoon 1/8 of the meat mixture onto each bun. Top with a slice of cheese.
Melt butter and stir in the garlic salt. Brush over the tops of the hamburger buns and leave buns open faced.
Bake for about 7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden to your liking.
