Pizza Burgers are a fun and flavorful fusion of two favorites—burgers and pizza. Ground beef and sausage are simmered in marinara, spooned over toasted English muffins, and topped with pepperoni and melted mozzarella for an easy, comforting meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb ground sausage
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon marjoram
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 English muffins, split
  • 2 ounces pepperoni
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef and sausage in a large skillet, breaking it up as it cooks.
  2. When halfway cooked, add butter, mushrooms, and chopped onion. Cook until softened and browned.
  3. Add garlic and marjoram; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in marinara sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, toast split English muffins under the broiler until lightly golden.
  6. Spoon meat mixture onto each muffin half, top with pepperoni and mozzarella.
  7. Broil again until cheese is melted and bubbling. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Substitute sausage with more ground beef if preferred.
  • Try jalapeños, olives, or roasted red peppers for topping variations.
  • Use any tomato-based pizza or pasta sauce.
  • For extra crisp, reheat leftovers in a toaster oven.
  • Prepare the meat mixture a day ahead for easy assembly.
