1. Make the Mini Patties:
In a bowl, mix ground meat with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and tomato paste.
Form into 8 small, flat patties (slightly wider than the buns, as they’ll shrink when cooked).
Cook in a skillet or grill over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
2. Toast the Buns:
Lightly butter the inside of each bun and toast on a pan or under the broiler until golden.
3. Assemble & Add Pizza Toppings:
Place the bottom bun on a baking tray. Add the cooked patty.
Spoon 1 tbsp pizza sauce on top, followed by shredded mozzarella and a couple pepperoni slices.
Place under the broiler (or in a hot oven) for 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
4. Serve:
Top with the bun lid and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
🍽 Serving Ideas:
Serve with fries, veggie sticks, or a simple salad.
Make it a party platter with different topping combos (like BBQ chicken or veggie supreme).
Offer extra pizza sauce or garlic aioli for dipping.
