Last week I did a little experiment with frozen hamburger patties…I made Pizza Burgers with Frozen Hamburger Patties! They were delicious! I love to create lots of different frozen hamburger patty recipes out of frozen hamburgers. We love burgers but sometimes it’s just fun to switch it up so the fam doesn’t get too bored. These Pizza Burger Patties with frozen hamburger patties are a new favorite.
They were so moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside AND tasted like a Pizza! Yum! I got a thumbs up on this breaded pizza burger recipe baby, so enjoy! Better than the old Schwan’s pizza burgers they used to sell…just my opinion of course!

The other thing I do to save TONS of money and time is to buy my ground beef in bulk and then make my frozen burgers ahead of time and freeze for later…huge help for those busy days!

How to Make Pizza Burgers with Frozen Hamburger Patties
Ingredients:
- Frozen Hamburger Patties
- 2-3 eggs stirred
- 1/2 cup each Panko Bread and Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
- Mozzarella Cheese
Homemade Pizza Sauce (this is deeelish!)
- 1 small 8 oz. can tomato sauce
- 1 t olive oil
- 1 t oregano
- 1 t basil
- 1 t salt..I don’t use hardly any of this
- 1/8 to 1/4 cayenne pepper
- 1/2 t. garlic powder
Directions:
Grab those frozen hamburgers out of the freezer…
Stir up eggs for dipping in a shallow bowl then mix the Panko Bread and Italian Bread Crumbs together in another shallow bowl (or plate)
Dip Frozen Burger into the eggs.
Then dip into breadcrumbs to coat burger on both sides.
Place the burgers onto Parchment Paper , then place the Parchment Paper onto a wire rack inside a cookie sheet to catch the grease. If you don’t have parchment paper..skip it and just spray your wire rack
so the burgers don’t stick and for easy clean up.
Place in oven and bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes. Then turn over and bake for another 5 min. Check doneness with a meat thermometer 160 degrees is safe or cut one open and be sure there is no pink.
Remove Parchment Paper (burgers slide right off) and top with homemade or store bought Pizza Sauce and Mozzarella Cheese.
Put back into oven for a few more minutes. Just until Cheese melts. You can turn your oven off.
Then top with whatever you like on your Pizza! Pepperoni, Sausage, Veggies, Pineapple! YUM!
You could also serve on Homemade French Bread!
These stayed big fat and juicy while being crunchy on the outside…they were deeelish!!
These were super easy to make and guess what..you could even make ahead on the weekend by doing the first few steps (eggs and coating) Then you would set them onto a cookie sheet and flash freeze. Flash freeze just means that you set them out onto a cookie sheet then put them in the freezer for about 20 min. They will freeze individually rather than stick together. Then you take them and put them into a ziplock bag and put in freezer for later!

In the early to mid 90’s we always bought Johnsville Pizza burgers. I’ve been trying to find them for years but noone makes them anymore. This recipe is as close to them as I can get. Still doesn’t taste quite the same, but amazing.
Shari Lynne says
Oh I hate it when you can’t find food that was an all time fave for years! I’m glad you found this recipe “close” though…LOL Enjoy and thank you for stopping by!
