- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) to preheat.
- Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion and minced garlic. Once the beef is fully cooked and no longer pink, carefully drain the excess grease from the skillet.

- Prepare the Buns: Arrange the halved buns on a cookie sheet, cut side up.
- Assemble the Burgers: Spoon the hot meat sauce mixture evenly over each bun half. Make sure to spread it nicely to cover the surface.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the meat-topped bun halves.
- Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is thoroughly melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the pizza burgers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious, cheesy, and easy-to-make old-school pizza burgers hot!
