Pizza Burger
Pizza burgers are a very very kid friendly recipe. When my kiddos saw me making these, they were going crazy over it. I hardly managed to be done with the photos. Although I gave them some to nibble on while keeping the rest for the shots, they kept hovering over what I have wanting more!!
Saucy ground meat, pepperoni slices, loads of melted cheese all sandwiched between their favorite buns, how can they resist? I know it is hard😅. I’ve made this a couple of times already and they were devoured every time. I am sure I will be doing more of these especially that the soccer season is about to start and when this crazy season is here we are always running around

I’ve served mine with some fries and pickles on the side. You can serve with sliced tomato, onion and cucumber for a healthy side.
