Rachael Rays Meatza Pizza Burgers Recipes

RACHAEL RAY'S MEATZA PIZZA BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine ground beef, tomato paste, chorizo or pepperoni, oregano, garlic, and pepper. Form into 4 patties.
• Now it's time to cook the burgers. Ray's directions are for grilling: cook burgers for 5 minutes on each side over medium-high gas heat or charcoal. But I bet you can just pan fry them or pop them on an indoor grill.
• In the last minute, melt a slice of provolone on each burger. Serve with romaine lettuce and slice tomato on crusty rolls.

QUICK AND EASY PIZZA BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix together all ingredients from ground beef through pizza sauce.
• Separate the halves of the hamburger buns, placing each half face-up on a baking sheet.
• Spread the meat mixture on each of the hamburger bun halves. (I have found the fastest way to do this is using Pampered Chef's medium scoop and dividing the meat mixture between the bun halves; then, using the back of a large soup spoon, smooth the meat mixture evenly over the bun.).
• Top each with a slice of mozzarella.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

RACHAEL RAY'S SPANAKOPITA BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• To one side, add a little extra-virgin olive oil and a tablespoon of butter.
• When butter melts, add the chopped garlic and chopped red onion and cook 5 minutes. Transfer the onions and garlic to a bowl to cool.
• Return pan to heat.
• Squeeze all the water out of the thawed spinach.
• Separate the spinach as you add it to the bowl with cool onions, garlic and season with 1 teaspoon of oregano.
• Add in feta crumbles then chicken or turkey, grill seasoning and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
• Mix and form into 4 patties, 1-inch thick.
• Raise heat on pan to medium-high.
• Add patties and cook 6 minutes on each side.

RACHAEL RAY'S CARIBBEAN BURGERS WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet with EVOO, two turns of the pan, over medium-high heat.
• Place meat of choice into a mixing bowl. Combine the dry spices and sugar in a small dish, then sprinkle evenly over the meat. Add fresh basil or cilantro, lots of salt and pepper to the meat. Mix the meat and spices and form four large patties. Make a divot in the center of the burger. As the burgers cook, the well will swell up and you'll end up with a flat surface instead of the dreaded burger bulge. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, turning once.
• While the burgers cook, make the mango salsa: in a small bowl, combine the mango, red pepper, jalapeño, cucumber and lime zest and juice. Season with salt, to taste.
• Toast the buns lightly under a hot broiler.
• When the burgers are done, transfer them to bun bottoms and top with Bibb lettuce, lots of salsa and bun tops. Serve burgers with a few chips alongside.

Place all hamburger bun halves onto cookie sheets. Add desired amount of sauce onto each bun and sprinkle with the grated American and mozzarella cheeses. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 10 minutes, or till heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.
