Description

Pizza Burgers are juicy beef patties smothered in pizza sauce, covered with melted mozzarella,
and finished with classic pizza toppings. Served on toasted buns, they deliver bold flavor,
cheesy goodness, and hearty satisfaction in every bite.

Tips

• Use chicken or turkey instead of beef for a lighter version.
• Toast the buns to prevent sogginess and add extra flavor.
• Add grated Parmesan cheese for a richer taste.
• Spice it up with crushed red pepper flakes or jalapeños.

Correction

• Avoid overcooking the patties, as this can make them dry.
• Do not overload with sauce, which may cause the buns to become soggy.
• Balance toppings so the burger remains easy to eat.
