Open-Faced Pizza Burgers

Adapted from https://www.thekitchn.com/open-faced-pizza-burgers-recipe-23046152

I made this.

Servings: 4

INGREDIENTS

1 small yellow onion, diced
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
4 English muffins
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound lean ground beef
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup pizza sauce
1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese

STEPS

1) Arrange a rack 6 inches below the broiling element and heat the oven to 350ºF.

2) Split 4 English muffins in half. Place cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in the oven until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside and set the oven to broil.

3) Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

4) Add 1 pound lean ground beef and seasonings. Cook, breaking up the meat into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned, beginning to crisp, and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.

5) Stir in pizza sauce and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Divide the mixture between the English muffins. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

6) Broil until the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
