👩🍳 Detailed Instructions of Pizza Burger
1. Make the Burger Patties
• Put the ground meat, chili flakes, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir thoroughly.
• Shape into 4 equal patties, slightly wider than your buns (they shrink while cooking).
• In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Cook patties until cooked through and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
2. Prepare Pizza Filling
• In a small saucepan, warm the marinara sauce.
• Add any optional pizza toppings (pepperoni, mushrooms, etc.) and heat through.
• Stir in ½ cup shredded mozzarella and let it melt into the sauce.
3. Assemble the Pizza Burgers
• Slice buns in half. To achieve a golden foundation, lightly toast each half in butter on a skillet.
• On the bottom bun:
• Place a cooked patty
• Drizzle the patty with two to three tablespoons of the pizza sauce mixture.
• Sprinkle extra mozzarella cheese
• If preferred, add a few pepperoni or vegetable slices.
4. Melt & Toast
• Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) or use an air fryer.
• Place assembled burgers on a baking tray and toast for 5–7 minutes until the cheese melts and buns are slightly crisp.
5. Final Touch
• Sprinkle with oregano and fresh herbs before serving.
🍽 Serving Suggestions
