Hello Foodie Fans,
Happy Fantastic Friday! Can you believe Labor Day Weekend is here already? Are you ready to say goodbye to summer? It is time to get creative with back to school lunches so, I decided to share one of my favorite school lunches growing up.
In school growing up I often took my lunch because our cafeteria lunches weren’t all that great! I had a few things that were on my favorite list. I loved when we had pizza burger day so, I wanted to create my own version of them. I think Friday is the perfect day for making fun food and these pizza burgers fit fun Friday totally. You can really add and take away ingredients with this recipe to add your own special twist. I hope these pizza burgers are a big hit in your house. Happy Cooking!
Ingredients
1lb ground turkey (Butterball is yummy)
1lb Italian Sausage
1 8oz bag of Mozzarella cheese
1 16oz bag of pepperoni
2 jars of pizza sauce
1 8 bag of hamburger buns
Instructions
Fry ground turkey and Italian Sausage until brown. Drain the grease from the meat. Add the pizza sauce to cooked turkey and sausage. Open each bun spoon some the meat and sauce mixture on each piece of bread. Top each pizza burger off with pepperoni and cheese. Bake at 350 until cheese is melted. Enjoy!
Tip: You can also use breakfast sausage to give it a different taste. Get creativity and add mushrooms, green peppers, onions and more!
This is a great recipe idea for kids!
This is a great spin on the traditional burger! Pizza is already amazing, so why not make it a burger. Yumm.
This would be great for us as lunch during our homeschool day! Thanks for sharing!
Yaaassss omg this is such a good idea. Especially for picky eaters like some of my younger family members. I would totally want to experiment and make a vegetarian version of this.
What an interesting idea, especially now with back to school in full effect!
This reminds me of the pizza sub I sometimes order at Penn Station restaurant. This inspires me to try to make it at home. Not sure why I never thought of that. Thanks!
A great after school snack recipe. My kid is always starving when he comes home
Love that kids can help with this recipe!
My kids would enjoy this! Quick and easy too!🤗 thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much Frances!!! 🙂
Kids loved making these! I used some leftover ground pork I had from meatballs earlier in the week. So easy to prepare and clean up after!
Thank you so much Alicia!! I am so glad you and your family loved the recipe!! Keep the Fun Food Friday tradition going!!
