Quick Dinner!
Hello darling, where have you been hiding all my dinner making life? Today was a busy little day and at the end of it I got to make dinner too. Excitement. But then as I was pondering my choices: frozen hamburger patties, frozen chicken, half a zucchini, a few limp beets and some tomato sauce this triumphant idea floated into my head and whispered Pizza Burgers. TRUE STORY. Anyway my choices were limited so I went with it. Everyone was happy, everyone ate and no one cried, I call that a win in my book. Check out the pizza burgers if you need a quick delicious meal that can be pretty darn healthy too.
Pizza Burgers
Ingredients
- 4 hamburger patties
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 medium zucchini
- 3-4 sprigs oregano
- pinch rosemary
- pinch sage
- pinch sugar
- dash salt
- mozzarella cheese enough to cover each burger
- 2 full hamburger buns or your choice of bread--I used Ezekiel bread for the gluten free option
Instructions
- in a large skillet brown the hamburger patties
- slice the zucchini into quarters and cut into slices
- when the patties are nicely browned on both sides add the zucchini pieces
- preheat the broiler at this point
- then mix the sauce, water and spices together and pour over each burger and the rest of the sauce can be poured around the pan
- continue cooking over medium high heat until bubbling
- cover each burger with cheese if desired and pop under the broiler for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly hot and very melty
Pinning! Great idea, looks fabulous!
I have always lived by the old adage, "Eat and shut up, or shut up and eat." In this case, I doubt you had to tell anyone to eat, because they were too busy stuffing their faces!
