🔥 How to Make Mini Pizza Burgers
Step 1: Prepare the Patties
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef (or turkey), diced onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Use your hands to combine everything—just enough to mix, not enough to overwork the meat.
Shape the mixture into 8 small patties the same size as your slider buns.
Step 2: Cook the Patties
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the patties for 3–4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any extra oil.
Step 3: Assemble the Sliders
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the bottom halves of the buns on a baking sheet.
Add a spoonful of pizza or marinara sauce on each bun, then top with pepperoni or your chosen toppings.
Place one cooked patty on each slider.
Step 4: Load with Cheese
Sprinkle plenty of shredded mozzarella over the patties.
If you want extra cheesiness, add Parmesan too.
Close each slider with the top bun.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese melts and becomes perfectly bubbly.
For a crispy finish, broil for the last 2–3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve warm.
