I hate that you never have enough burgers to use up the buns in a package of hamburger buns. Plus I can only eat so many sloppy joes in two days and deal with drooling dogs at the grill with burgers. I hate tossing burger buns into the waste bin, it just seems so wasteful to buy 8 buns for 4 burgers.
I needed to come up with something quick and I realized that I had leftover tomato sauce in the freezer and grated cheese in the fridge (and since when do I not have cheese in my fridge? I LOVE CHEESE).
My mouth was starting to water as I put these together. I had made sauce with red wine... it smelled extra great to me after a long day in the sun, biking, playing, cleaning, etc...
And the cheese. I should have put more cheese on top so they were extra gooey.
And baked. Crispy bread, hot sauce, melty cheesy goodness.
Pizza Burgers (sort of)
2 - 4 hamburger buns split in half
2 cups pizza sauce, leftover spaghetti sauce or tomato sauce
2 cups of grated cheese - I use an Italian blend or a cheddar jack blend
And pizza toppings of your choice (I didn't feel like anything other than cheese)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Put bun halves on baking sheet.
Top each half with sauce.
Then top with cheese and all other pizza toppings you want!
Bake for 10-13 minutes or until cheese is melty and buns are nice and crispy.
Serve with a salad.
