Mini Pizza Burgers Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Meat Patties:

1 lb (450g) ground beef or ground turkey

1 small onion, finely diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

For the Sliders:

8 small burger buns or slider rolls (sliced bread or mini bagels can be used as alternatives)

1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce

1 cup sliced pepperoni or preferred toppings (mushrooms, bell peppers, etc.)

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or a mix of mozzarella and cheddar)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Meat Patties:

In a large bowl, combine the ground meat with the diced onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients evenly. Shape the mixture into small, round patties, roughly the size of the buns.

  1. Cook the Patties:

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through. Transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

  1. Assemble the Sliders:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the bottom halves of the buns on a baking sheet. Spread a spoonful of pizza or marinara sauce on each bun. Layer with pepperoni (or other toppings) and then top with one of the cooked patties.

  1. Add the Cheese:

Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella over each patty. For added flavor, optionally top with grated Parmesan. Place the top halves of the buns on each slider.

  1. Bake:

Slide the tray into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly. For a crispier finish, broil for the final 2-3 minutes.
