Instructions

1. Prepare the Patties

Place ground beef in a bowl.Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.Mix gently to combine—avoid overmixing to keep patties tender.

Divide into equal portions and shape into small patties slightly larger than the buns (they shrink while cooking).
2. Cook the Patties

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly oil it.
Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
Let them rest a few minutes so juices redistribute.
3. Prepare the Buns

Slice buns in half if not pre-sliced.
Toast lightly in a pan or oven for flavor and to prevent sogginess.
4. Assemble the Burgers

Place bottom buns on a baking tray.
Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce on each.
Add a burger patty and another spoonful of sauce.
Sprinkle generously with mozzarella.
Add optional toppings like pepperoni or veggies.
Top with the remaining bun halves.
5. Bake to Finish

Preheat oven to moderate heat.
Bake assembled burgers 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
