- Assemble the Pizza Burgers
- Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the slow cooker. Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if desired.
- Place a patty on each bun and top with additional pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and your favorite pizza toppings like pepperoni, olives, or peppers.
