Friday's Hot Lunch - Pizza Burgers

Pizza Burgers
Tator Tots
Chocolate Pudding


Pizza Burgers

5 lbs. ground beef
3 lbs. ground sausage
1-5 lb. can pizza sauce
3 lbs. shredded mozzarella cheese
4-16 ct. packages of hamburger buns

Preheat oven to 350. Brown ground beef and sausage together. Drain well. Stir the pizza sauce into the meat mixture. Heat through. Split buns apart and line onto several cookie sheets. Put about 1/2 c. meat mixture onto each bun half. Top with about 2 T. shredded mozzarella. Heat in oven for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serves 30 hungry children, easily!

You can also make these into Taco Burgers. Don't use the sausage and use about 8 lbs. of ground beef. Instead of the pizza sauce, add in about 1 c. taco seasoning with about 1 c. of water. Basically, you're making taco meat. If you'd like to stir in some salsa (about 2 c.) for some added flavor, then stir it in along with the taco seasoning and water. Then, instead of topping with mozzarella cheese, use cheddar. Then bake according to original directions.
