Assembly Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, pizza sauce, garlic salt, onion salt and
oregano. Add the pepperoni pieces and mozzarella cheese, stirring to mix well.
Fill buns with meat mixture. Wrap each bun in aluminum foil.
Freezing Directions:
Put all of the wrapped buns in a rigid container
or 2-gallon freezer bag. Seal, label and freeze.
Serving
Directions:
Remove the number of wrapped buns you need from
the freezer. Allow them to thaw, still wrapped in
foil, for no more than an hour. (If they thaw for
too long, the buns will get soggy.) Bake the
wrapped buns at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Serve while hot.
Comments:
These pizza burgers make a great snack too. If you
are used to eating pizza burgers open-faced, you
can do that with this recipe too. Freeze the
mixture in freezer bags, according to your family
size and appetite. To serve, thaw the mixture, and
spread it on both halves of the hamburger buns.
Put the halves on a cookie sheet. Broil the pizza
burgers until they’re hot and bubbly.
