Ingredients

  • 1 tube Pillsbury pizza crust
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup Muir Glen fire-roasted crushed tomatoes, drained
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Salt and Pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1
Preheat oven to 500ºF. Roll out the pizza dough and use a cup or cookie cutter to make 6 (approximately 4-inch) rounds. Gently work the dough to stretch them into about 5 1/2-inch rounds with a very slight rolled edge.

2
Top the pizza rounds with tomatoes and cheese and put into the hot oven to cook about 4-5 minutes. They will start browning quick and there is a only a brief time between being cooked and starting to burn, so watch them carefully.

3
When the pizzas come out of the oven, top with torn basil.

4
Meanwhile, form your burger patties. Use the pizza size as a guide for how big to make the burger. Salt and pepper on both sides. Grill to desired temperature/doneness.

5
Place the burger onto one of the pizza rounds, and top with an additional pizza round. Serve!
