Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices (or chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 6–8 burger buns or slider buns (split)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Break it up as it cooks so it becomes crumbly and evenly cooked.
Drain excess grease if needed, then season the beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Stir in the pizza sauce and let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Place the split buns on a baking sheet. Lightly toast them in the oven for a few minutes if you want a crisp base.
Spoon the beef mixture onto each bun half, spreading evenly.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and add pepperoni slices on top.
Bake for 8–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with slightly golden edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve hot with fries, chips, or a simple salad. You can also add toppings like olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers for a more loaded pizza flavor.
