Easy and quick mini pizzas on burger buns, made with seasoned ground beef, pizza sauce, and gooey mozzarella cheese for a classic taste.
Ingredients:
  • 8 hamburger buns, split
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 0.33300000429153 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pizza sauce (such as Contadina®)
  • 0.33333334326744 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2.25 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
  • Preheat the broiler and adjust the oven rack to 6 inches below the heat source.
  • On a baking sheet, arrange bun halves crust side down. Broil until lightly toasted, approximately 1 minute. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. Then, set aside the toasted buns.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until crumbly for about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease and add the onion. Cook until translucent for about 5 minutes, then mix in pizza sauce, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and paprika. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10-15 minutes to blend flavors, stirring occasionally.
  • Top the buns with the beef sauce, then sprinkle each with around 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned, approximately 10 minutes.
