Pizza Burgers

Jennifer made Pizza Burgers for January.  The recipe comes from The Freezer Cooking Manual from 30Day Gourmet.  Their website is 30Day Gourmet.


 

The recipe includes a pound of ground beef (browned & drained), pizza sauce, garlic & onion salt, pepperoni cut into small pieces.  Mix it all together and freeze.  I separately freeze it with some mozzarella cheese and a package of buns.
Thaw.  Open buns on a cookie sheet and put the meat on the buns.  Top with cheese.  I bake for a couple minutes until warm and then broil for one minute or so.  Super easy and my family loves it.

Mix first five ingredients.  Spread into 9x9 greased pan.  Mix soup with vegetables and spread on top of meat mixture.  Sprinkle with cheese and top with tator tots.  Bake at 350 degrees for 75 minutes.  OR freeze before baking.  Remove from freezer 30 minutes before baking.  Cover and bake 350 degrees for 90 minutes.
