Description

πŸ” Enjoy the hearty flavors of Open-Faced Pizza Burgers with savory toppings and quick preparation for an easy meal.
πŸ§€ This recipe combines the comfort of pizza and burgers into a fun, satisfying dish perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

– 1 small yellow onion

– 4 English muffins

– 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-Getting started with pizza burgers is as easy as following a few simple steps, and you’ll have a hot meal ready in no time. First, preheat your oven to 350Β°F and position the rack six inches below the broiler to set up for toasting. Then, dice the onion and split the English muffins in half, placing them cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet.

2-Toast the muffins in the oven for about 5 minutes until they’re lightly browned, then set them aside and switch the oven to broil. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil and add the diced onion, cooking it for 5 minutes until softened. Next, stir in the ground beef along with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper, breaking the meat into small pieces as it cooks for 5 7 minutes until browned and slightly crisp.

3-Mix in the pizza or marinara sauce and let it simmer for 3 minutes until thickened. Finally, spoon the beef mixture evenly over the toasted muffins, top with mozzarella cheese, and broil for 1 2 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles. For adaptations, you can use plant-based patties or gluten-free buns to fit your preferences, and adjust cooking times as needed.

Notes

🍳 Prepare the beef mixture a day ahead and refrigerate for quick assembly.
πŸ”₯ Position the oven rack before preheating to ensure efficient cooking.
πŸ§‚ Use freshly ground black pepper for enhanced flavor in the beef mixture.
