How to Make Cheeseburger Bun Pizzas

  • Prepare special sauce by whisking together the ketchup, mayonnaise, relish and spicy brown mustard until well combined. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Separate the buns and place each half, middle side up, on a large baking sheet that’s been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or lined with parchment paper. Toast buns in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
  • In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, sautéed the onion and garlic until fragrant and onions start to turn translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the ground beef and start to break it up with a wooden spoon or spatula into several equal size pieces as it combines with the onion and garlic mixture.
  • Continue to break the beef up into smaller and smaller pieces as it browns. The beef is ready when it is all brown with no signs of pink and starting to crisp. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
