Ingredients

8 hamburger buns, split

1 lb ground beef

0.33 cup chopped onion

1 (15 oz) can pizza sauce (such as Contadina®)

0.33 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.125 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Preheat the broiler and set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Place bun halves, crust sides down, onto a baking sheet. Broil for about 1 minute or until just toasted. Set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes more.

Stir in pizza sauce, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10-15 minutes to blend flavors while stirring often.

Spoon the sauce over buns on the baking sheet. Top each with about 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
