pizza burgers

INGREDIENTS

1 pound ground beef
1 small minced onion
   minced garlic
1 tablespoon oregano
2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes
2 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste
Hamburger buns
Shredded mozzarella cheese


DIRECTIONS

Brown meat in. Add onion and garlic and cook until they are transparent and the meat is thoroughly browned. Pour off excess fat. Add herbs, tomatoes and tomato paste and simmer covered at least 1/2 hour. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Cut hamburger buns in half and brown the open halves until lightly toasted in the broiler. Remove the top half of the hamburger bun from the baking sheet and put a large spoonful of the hot pizza burger mixture on toasted bottom half. Top with some mozzarella cheese and return to the broiler long enough for the cheese to melt. Place burgers on plates, and put the top half of the hamburger bun on sandwich and serve.
