Pizza Burgers

I'm sure it's obvious by now that I love meals that can be prepared ahead of time and frozen for convenience.  This meal is from 30 Day Gourmet Freezer Cooking (my new favorite book!!)

These pizza burgers really aren't much like "burgers" but are more like baked sloppy joes.  Still really yummy though!  We'll be eating these for dinner in a couple of nights but I was too excited and made one for lunch today.  I gave this 4 stars!  This recipes makes 24 "burgers," so you could easily make a batch and freeze the rest. I halved the recipe. 

1lb cooked ground beef

30 oz pizza sauce (I used pepperoni flavored)

1/2 tsp garlic salt

1/2 tsp onion salt

1/4 tsp dried oregano

3 oz chopped pepperoni

2 c shredded mozzarella

24 hamburger buns

In a large bowl mix the first five ingredients.  Add the pepperoni and mozzarella, stirring to mix well.  Fill the buns with meat mixture.  Wrap each bun in aluminum foil.  If baking immediately, bake 350 degrees for 15-20 min.  Serve while hot (duh!)

To freeze for later: Put all of the wrapped, cooked sandwhiches in a ziplock bag and freeze. 
Thaw, still wrapped in foil, for no more than 1 hour or the buns will get soggy.  Bake them wrapped at 350 degrees for 15-20 min.
