Description
This Pizza Burgers Recipe is the perfect combination of two comfort food favorites—juicy ground beef, rich marinara sauce, and melty mozzarella cheese served on toasted English muffins. It’s quick, easy, and family-friendly.
Ingredients
1 small yellow onion, diced
4 English muffins, split in half
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound lean ground beef
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup pizza or marinara sauce
1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and position a rack 6 inches below the broiler.
2. Place English muffin halves cut-side up on a baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes until lightly browned.
3. Set oven to broil and set muffins aside.
4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Add ground beef, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, 5–7 minutes.
6. Stir in marinara sauce and simmer for 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Spoon beef mixture over each muffin half and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
8. Broil for 1–2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
9. Remove from oven and serve warm.
Notes
The beef mixture can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat before assembling the pizza burgers.
