Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20)
4 small sandwich buns (slider buns or Hawaiian rolls)
4 slices mozzarella cheese
1 tomato, sliced
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
to taste Salt and pepper
as needed Olive oil for grilling

Equipment

Mixing bowl
Skillet or grill pan
Spatula
Baking sheet if using broiler
Knife and cutting board

Method

Divide ground beef into four equal portions and shape into small patties, seasoning both sides with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil.
Heat a grill pan or heavy skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil, then cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
Toast the buns in a dry pan, oven, or under the broiler until golden and slightly crunchy.
Assemble the mini pizza burgers by spreading pizza sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun, adding the cooked patty on top, and topping with mozzarella cheese.
Melt the cheese by placing the assembled burgers under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Add fresh tomato slices and a sprinkle of oregano and basil before placing the top bun on each burger.
Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for larger crowds. Set up a "toppings bar" for customization options: olives, pepperoni, onions, and mushrooms. Leftover cooked patties can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or frozen for about 2 months. Reheat patties gently and toast fresh buns for the best texture.
