EASY PIZZA BURGERS

Steps:

• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook ground beef and onion over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in tomato paste, Italian seasoning and mushrooms. Cover and refrigerate; use within 3 days.
• To prepare each sandwich, spread about 1/4 cup beef mixture on English muffin half. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese over top. Place on microwavable napkin or paper towel (to absorb moisture).
• Microwave 1 sandwich uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes or until beef mixture is hot and cheese is melted.

QUICK AND EASY PIZZA BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix together all ingredients from ground beef through pizza sauce.
• Separate the halves of the hamburger buns, placing each half face-up on a baking sheet.
• Spread the meat mixture on each of the hamburger bun halves. (I have found the fastest way to do this is using Pampered Chef's medium scoop and dividing the meat mixture between the bun halves; then, using the back of a large soup spoon, smooth the meat mixture evenly over the bun.).
• Top each with a slice of mozzarella.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

HOMEMADE PIZZA BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine beef, tomato paste, salt, sugar, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, pepper, and oregano in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate to let flavors marry, about 4 hours.
• Form beef mixture into 8 thin patties. Place 1 slice of mozzarella cheese on each of 4 patties; leave at least a 1/2-inch border, breaking up the cheese as needed. Place remaining patties on top and pinch edges to seal in the cheese.
• Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Fry burgers until browned and centers reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 6 to 7 minutes per side. Serve on buns.
