Ingredients & Tools You'll Need

Alright, let’s talk about what you’ll need. For this recipe, you're going to want one pound of ground beef, a jar of pizza sauce, and a can of cream of mushroom soup – trust me, this combo brings the flavor. You'll also need a 16-ounce block of mozzarella cheese (because we all know it’s better when it’s loaded with cheese), an eight-pack of burger buns, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning to tie it all together.

As for tools, grab a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy clean-up. You’ll also need a skillet to brown the beef and a mixing bowl to combine that mushroom soup with the pizza sauce. It’s all pretty straightforward, and I promise you won’t break a sweat.

Just make sure you have everything ready to go, and we’ll be chowing down in no time!

How To Make It

The game plan is simple. You are going to build flavor in the pot, then let everything simmer until it is tender and cozy.

I like to keep things moving as I go, so nothing sticks and every bite gets a little bit of everything.

Preparation

Start by browning your ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Make sure to break it up into small pieces as it cooks, so you end up with nice, crumbly texture that’s perfect for layering. While the beef is cooking, split your burger buns in half and place them on that parchment-lined baking sheet.

I like to give mine a quick spray with cooking spray to help them crisp up a bit in the oven.

Next, mix the cream of mushroom soup with about three-quarters of the pizza sauce in a bowl. This creamy goodness adds a richness that pairs perfectly with the other flavors. Once your beef is cooked through, it’s time to get assembling!

Cooking

Here’s the deal – once you’ve got your buns ready, start layering! Spread a generous layer of the mushroom and pizza sauce mixture on each half of the bun. Then, load up your crispy bun with the cooked beef, followed by a healthy portion of shredded mozzarella.

Don’t be shy with the cheese; I go heavy on it because, well, cheese makes everything better!

Now for the magic – sprinkle a touch of Italian seasoning over the top, and toss those bad boys in the oven. Bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. You’ll want to keep an eye on them towards the end; that’s when the aroma will start to fill your kitchen and drive everyone wild with anticipation.

Once they're done, pull them out and let them cool for a minute before diving in.

Serving & Variations

These Pizza Burgers are best served hot out of the oven, but there's plenty of room for creativity. Try pairing them with a fresh side salad or some crispy fries to round out your meal. You can also customize your toppings – think pepperoni, bell peppers, or even some fresh basil for an extra kick.

If you find yourself with leftovers (which is rare, trust me), you can store them in the fridge and pop them back in the oven for a quick reheating.

Feeling adventurous? You could even experiment with different sauces or cheeses. Swap the pizza sauce for barbecue sauce for a sweet twist, or try using pepper jack cheese instead of mozzarella for a spicy kick.

The options are endless!

Wrapping Up

So there you have it – Pizza Burgers that are sure to become a staple in your cooking repertoire. They're fun, flavorful, and come together in a snap. Trust me, once you make these, you’ll be craving them all the time.
