Pizza Burgers

Kids usually love anything with the word "pizza" attached to it, so I came up with this top-you-own pizza burger recipe. It adds variety to "pizza night" at our house and even goes over well with us "big kids". —Robin, Kornegay Seffmer, Florida

beef into 12 thin patties.
Top six patties with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce, three slices of
