Sometimes dinner just needs to be easy cheesy and full of comfort. These old school pizza burgers have everything you love about pizza tucked into a quick family meal. They are melty handheld hits that never last long at the table and always bring a little retro fun to weeknights.
I made these for my kids on a rainy day and now whenever the weather turns chilly they start asking for pizza burgers. It is our favorite shortcut to pizza night without the extra mess.
Ingredients
- Ground beef: brings rich flavor and classic burger texture Make sure to use fresh beef for the best result
- Pizza sauce: gives you the tangy herby base that mimics real pizza Look for one with minimal added sugar for a balanced taste
- Italian seasoning: takes the flavor up a notch A blend with plenty of oregano and basil is best
- Shredded sharp cheddar cheese: melts beautifully and brings bold flavor Choose a block and shred it for creamier results
- Burger buns: are the easy vessel White or whole wheat both work Just make sure they are soft and fresh
Cheese Notes
Sharp cheddar is my go to for something a little punchy but mozzarella will give you that pull just like a pizzeria
