When I saw Pizza Burger, I was thinking of something along the lines of what we had at school lunches. Man, that Pizza Burger looked awesome. So much cheesy goodness. A while back, I made a Coney Island Pizza Burger. I would toast the buns, add a light layer of mustard on the bun, top with my Coney Island Sauce, add in some diced beef dogs, top with cheese and bake for 10 minutes or so. They were very good. Makes for a nice snack on game days or late night snack when just getting off work and not needing a full meal. Nice work.

Sounds great! Thanks for checking this video out, I appreciate it!

Man. Tony’s was a weekly visit while in high school, and we always got the pizza burger. Outstanding. I was literally telling my wife about Tony’s Pizza Burgers last week. We watched your video again tonight. Great memories, and I will check out Aunt Nita’s in the coming weeks. ❤️

i also used san marz tomatoes as they really do taste the best of all canned that i have tried.

Oh absolutely! Such a rich sweet taste.

[@purpguy69]

The ones we had as kids had the cheese and sauce built into the patty but I’m gonna have too try this one. Thanks Russ

[@jennitro]

Looks great. I did find myself wishing you sliced that garlic with a razor blade (ala Goodfellas) :) That sauce looked very good. The pizza burgers I grew up with were more like Sloppy Joes. Crumble/brown ground beef. Mix in sauce. Top with cheese.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you, I appreciate you watching!

Add a little bit of tomato paste. It thickens the sauce and adds to the flavor. I never would've thought about a pizza burger. Thank you so much!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

As I said in the video, it shouldn’t be thick. You want it thinner for this application. Continuing to reduce it while simmering will also thicken it, and bring a more robust flavor. If I were making a pizza only, then yes I would want it a bit thicker. Thanks for watching

[@johnblaze5252]

This gave me an inspiration to use ground chicken/ turkey. Chicken parm meets pizza burger.

[@TRIPLEBsBBQ]

That sounds awesome as well

[@johnblaze5252]

@@TRIPLEBsBBQ I feel Chicken marries up better than beef. With tomato sauce. I would go all out & try a vodka sauce. Less acidic IMO.

Alright Russ, you’ll have to forgive me. I began to doubt you. I’ve always trusted you before. Yet, when you started mixing that sauce and cheese on top of the burger patty I began to doubt you. Just a little bit, but a little skepticism snuck in. I thought this was going to be a “fail” video. Then I remembered, that this is RUS JONES, he does not fail! You then reassembled it and and it looked great! All good faith was restored. Very interesting and creative burger.
