Tips for making this recipe
Use good meat. If you want the best burger then you want to use a good quality ground beef. You also want to make sure the meat is fresh to give you the best flavors.
Use homemade sauce. You can use homemade pizza sauce, homemade spaghetti sauce or homemade marinara sauce when you are making these burgers, either one will work. If you are wanting a short cut you can use jarred sauce, but I much prefer homemade sauces.
What to Serve with Pizza Burgers
There are so many great options for side dishes that go with burgers. When we make burgers we aim for healthy but also tasty side dishes and change them up all the time. There really is not a wrong side dish when you are making burgers for dinner. If I am wanting to make things more on the fun side I make homemade potato chips including salt and pepper potato chips and garlic parmesan potato chips.
When we make burgers I like to make cold side dishes like pasta salads and fresh salads because I make these burgers mainly in the summertime. If you are looking for other easy summer side dishes check out some of our favorites.

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! You can totally make the burger patties ahead of time and then grill them when you are ready to cook them. They will keep in an air-tight container in the fridge uncooked for 1-2 days.
Can I freeze Burgers?
If you want to make a bunch of burgers and have them in the freezer for easy dinners you can. Just make and shape the burgers. Wrap each one in plastic wrap and then place in a zip close freezer bag.
You can freeze cooked burger patties the same way and they will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
