Kids usually love anything with the word pizza attached to it, so I came up with this top-you-own pizza burger recipe. It adds variety to pizza night at our house and even goes over well with us big kids . Robin, Kornegay Seffmer, Florida Ingredients:
6 pieces frozen garlic texas toast |
1-3/4 pounds ground turkey or beef |
1 cup pizza sauce, divided |
18 slices pepperoni |
12 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided |
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms |
2 teaspoons butter |
6 teaspoons grated parmesan cheese |
sliced green pepper and ripe olives, optional |
Directions:
1. Prepare Texas toast according to package directions. Meanwhile, shape beef into 12 thin patties.
2. Top six patties with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce, three slices of pepperoni, and one slice of mozzarella cheese. Top with remaining patties; press edges firmly to seal.
3. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, saute mushrooms in butter.
4. Top burgers with remaining pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. Cover and cook 3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Serve burgers on Texas toast with mushrooms, olives, Parmesan cheese and peppers and olives if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
