  • 1 large onion, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cups pizza sauce (from two 15-oz jars or cans)
  • 8 burger buns, split, toasted
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)

Steps

  • 1
    Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, onion and bell pepper; cook 7 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked.
  • 2
    Stir in pizza sauce. Reduce heat to medium; simmer uncovered about 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
  • 3
    Fill buns with beef mixture and cheese.

  • You can substitute 2 cups frozen diced onion and green bell pepper or look for chopped fresh vegetables in the produce department.
  • Bulk Italian pork sausage can be used in place of the ground beef. You’ll want to drain it before adding the pizza sauce.
  • Coarsely chop the onion and bell pepper in a food processor fitted with a chopping blade.
