Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown beef and chopped onion together in a skillet.
- Drain excess fat from the beef mixture.
- Add tomato soup, shredded sharp cheese, oregano, and pepper to the skillet.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some Italian seasoning or garlic powder along with the oregano. If you want a spicier kick, add crushed red pepper flakes. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef if desired. Using a mix of cheeses, like mozzarella and provolone, can enhance the cheesiness of the pizzaburgers. Always taste and adjust the seasoning as needed before broiling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pizzaburgers with a side of crispy fries or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. They also pair well with a dipping sauce like ranch or marinara for added flavor. For a fun twist, consider serving them in a platter alongside other American recipes like Woo'S Blue-Plate Special Meat Loaf or Kat'S Casserole.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pizzaburgers on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave them, but be cautious not to overheat, as the buns can become chewy.
