Ingredients for Pizza Burger Bites:
Method of preparing the Pizza Burger Bites:
-
Place the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat it to 350°F (180°C).
-
Spray a muffin tin well with cooking spray. Press the hamburger bun halves to flatten them to about a 1/4-in thick.
-
Press the 12 flattened bun halves into the greased muffin tin, cut-side up.
-
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat and add in the ground beef, stirring continuously to prevent the meat from clumping up. Cook until lightly browned. This should take around 5 minutes.
-
To the same pan, add the onion and continue cooking until translucent.
-
Transfer the contents of the frying pan to a large mesh sieve and let any excess fat and juices drain. Then return the meat and onion mixture to the pan and stir in the pasta sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper if needed.
-
Spread the sauce out evenly among burger bun cups, then add any other toppings of your choice and sprinkle each burger cup with mozzarella.
-
Bake the pizza burger bites until the cheese has melted and browned on the sides. This will take around 15 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and let the pizza burger bites rest for 5 minutes before serving topped with fresh herbs.
