Mini Pizza Burgers Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce (plus more for serving)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 12 mini burger buns
• Toppings of your choice (pepperoni slices, bell peppers, olives, etc.)
• Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Burger Mixture:
   • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the Patties:
   • Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape them into small patties.
4. Cook the Patties:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Alternatively, you can bake them on a baking sheet in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
