Pizza Burgers
"Easy recipe for feeding a crowd. Meat mixture can be prepared ahead and refrigerated til party time. The first time I made it was 35 years ago for a Halloween party and the teenagers loved them. I have never seen a pizza burger recipe like this so I am sharing this for you busy moms & dads."

ingredients
- 1 lb hamburger
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1⁄2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
directions
- Brown hamburger.
- Drain.
- Place in bowl and add spices.
- Cool in fridge til cold.
- Remove from fridge and knead in the cold pizza cheeze adding tomatoe paste til it holds its shape.
- The mixture should be firm. Refrigerate until ready to make up.
- For pizzas, spread hamburger bun halves on cookie sheets and using an ice cream scoop top the buns with the pizza mixture.
- I spread the mixture with a spatula to the edge of the bun. The mixture should be about 1 to 2" thick; your preference.
- I have doubled and tripled the recipe for partys. We like a 2" mound of meat and cheeze on ours. If you follow the recipe using tomatoe PASTE the pizzas will rise and puff up, brown nicely, but not spill out over the bun; they really hold their shape and present well.
- Bake at 350 til cheese browns; about 10 minutes.

Delicious. Love them exactly the way they are -
Oh man! These are just like the ones we had in grade school and I could never find a recipe for it. These were delicious and so easy to make. My kiddos loved them. I also sent the extra to the freezer for another night. We'll see how they do but I am sure they will be a OAMC favorite. Thanks Pastryismybiz! -
Nice, easy & tasty recipe! My 18 yr old son was very excited when I told him what was for dinner and he loved them. I toasted the top bun too and perhaps wouldn't toast it as long, otherwise it was delicious. I also used ground turkey which worked just great and was healthier for you!

Training culinary:2 years culinary school Houston Community College (downtwn branch highly recommend) French pastry and artisan breads. I am immersed in family, spouse and everything homeside. it is now my time having retired, to do all the fun things I couldn't do while working. I believe life is most bountiful when we serve others. I also believe the best cooks are those who cook and bake with a love of making people happy. I especially enjoy sending cookies to our soldiers in Iraq. It is a joy to read their letters and emails of appreciation for a taste of home. I also love sewing, upholstery, gardening,church activities and remodeling take up the time not spent with family. I hope I can be as helpful to the cooks on Recipezaar as they have been helpful to me. When time permits I love to test and review recipes on this site that appeal to me. I am also a believer in power naps.
