Instructions:
Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped onion until translucent. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
Step 2: Stir in the refried beans, pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture is well combined and heated through.
Step 3: Preheat your oven’s broiler. Place the bun or muffin halves on a baking sheet.
Step 4: Spoon the beef and bean mixture onto each bun or muffin half. Top with a generous sprinkle of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
Step 5: Broil for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 6: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped tomatoes and parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Storage Information:
Store leftover pizza burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it may make the bread soggy.
