Here’s a fun and easy recipe for Mini Pizza Burgers 🍔🍕 — the best of burgers and pizza in one bite!
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey/chicken)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 12–16 mini slider buns or dinner rolls
- ½ cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup mini pepperoni slices or diced toppings of your choice
- Optional: dried oregano or Italian seasoning for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the patties
- Season ground beef with salt and pepper.
- Form small patties, about 2–3 inches in diameter (slightly larger than your buns).
- Cook the patties
- Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat.
- Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side until fully cooked (160°F for beef).
- Assemble mini pizza burgers
- Place cooked patties on buns.
- Spoon a little pizza sauce on top of each patty.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and add mini pepperoni slices.
- Melt the cheese
- Place assembled sliders under a broiler or in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 3–5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve
- Garnish with a sprinkle of oregano or Italian seasoning.
- Serve warm as an appetizer, party snack, or fun dinner.
Tips
- Extra flavor: Mix Italian seasoning or garlic powder into the ground beef before forming patties.
- Veggie boost: Add finely chopped bell peppers or mushrooms under the cheese.
- Make-ahead: Cook patties ahead of time and assemble just before serving for parties.
