Oh MAN these are good. I’m currently very obsessed with these, which is kind of making me chuckle, because it feels like a peak 90s Midwestern mom moment. HERE FOR IT! “Pizza burgers” are a staple of my childhood. My grandma made these all the time, and whenever she would come visit our family, she’d re-up our freezer stash. This recipe is like a collab between my grandma and me: she always did them on English muffins, and I prefer ground Italian sausage (or turkey, or chicken), and brushing all of it with garlic butter. They’re just my favorite for the end-of-school-year madness right now: They’re MINDLESSLY EASY. My kids love them. Fun toppings can be mixed in (my fave = pepperoncini). And, importantly: they can be pulled out of the freezer and reheated one at a time – ideal for the times we are trying to get out the door to soccer or find something to eat quickly between work meetings and just questioning every life decision that led us to this moment. <img loading="lazy" width="960" height="1280" decoding="async" data-pin-nopin="nopin" data-pin-url="https://pinchofyum.com/pizza-burgers?tp_image_id=156038" src="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/IMG_1087-scaled.jpg?fit=960%2C2560" alt="Pizza burger on a plate with potatoes, cucumber, and salad." class="wp-image-156038" style="object-fit:cover;width:300px;height:300px" srcset="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/IMG_1087-scaled.jpg?fit=960%2C1280&zoom=2 1920w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/IMG_1087-scaled.jpg?fit=960%2C1280&zoom=1.5 1440w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/IMG_1087-scaled.jpg?fit=960%2C1280&zoom=1 960w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/IMG_1087-scaled.jpg?fit=960%2C1280&zoom=0.5 480w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/IMG_1087-scaled.jpg?fit=960%2C1280&zoom=0.25 240w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /> While in the process of writing this post, I literally just ate two of them for lunch. Oh man, so good. Pulled out of the freezer. Air-fried for 8 minutes. Drizzled them with good olive oil (DELICIOUS) and topped with some kosher salt and served alongside a pile of supremely crunchy cucumbers. It was a moment! Hope you love these! From my Midwestern grandma, to me, to all of us. 🙂 <img loading="lazy" width="178" height="52" decoding="async" data-pin-nopin="nopin" data-pin-url="https://pinchofyum.com/pizza-burgers?tp_image_id=93813" src="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/lindsay-signature-notes.png" alt="Lindsay signature." class="wp-image-93813" srcset="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/lindsay-signature-notes.png?resize=178%2C52&zoom=1 178w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/lindsay-signature-notes.png?resize=178%2C52&zoom=0.5 89w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/lindsay-signature-notes.png?resize=178%2C52&zoom=0.25 45w" sizes="(min-width: 1220px) 653px, (min-width: 780px) calc(51.67vw + 33px), calc(100vw - 32px)" /> How To Make Pizza Burgers 1 Make Your Filling You have options.

Mindlessly easy, loved by my kids, and just fun to make. Great for meal prep, too! Ingredients Units US M Meat Filling 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil 1 lb. ground turkey, chicken, or Italian sausage 1 teaspoon kosher salt (reduce if using Italian sausage) 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce (I use Rao’s) 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup chopped pepperoncini (optional) English Muffins and Toppings 6–8 English muffin halves 1/2 cup salted butter, melted 1 clove garlic, grated (or a few shakes of garlic powder) 1 1/2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark Instructions Prepare the filling: Heat oil in a large skillet. Brown the meat. Add garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Add the tomato sauce; stir to combine. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese. Prepare the English Muffins: Mix the melted butter and garlic. Place English muffins face-up on a sheet pan. Brush with the garlic butter mixture. Arrange the Pizza Burgers: Put a few spoonfuls of the meat mixture on top of the English muffins. Cover each one with shredded Mozzarella, then a pinch of grated Parmesan. For cooking immediately: Place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 5-7 minutes, and then broil as needed to get the cheese melted and browned. You can also air fry at 350 for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and slightly crisped. For freezing: Place individual pizza burgers on a plate or small baking sheet lined with parchment and tuck it into the freezer. When they are solid, you can put them into a bag or container together. To reheat, I prefer to air fry at 350 for 6-8 minutes to get them warmed and crispy. Notes If you’re using Italian sausage, it’s already going to have a lot of a great flavor so you don’t need to season the meat as much as what is directed here. But if you’re using ground turkey or chicken, I would use the amounts of seasoning listed in the recipe (and/or taste and adjust so the meat takes on lots of flavor).

I made this on a whim for a last-minute low-key dinner party, and my friends texted the next day asking for the recipe. It was SO good. I needed something very easy that would deliver on flavor (I’m having dejavu). My brain did some thinking, and I decided to base the meal around an absolute EASY crowd pleaser that hits every time: good ol’ bang bang sauce. This sauce is embarrassingly easy and shockingly good. Mayo Sweet chili sauce Soy sauce Fresh garlic Here’s the move: air fry the tofu (fastest way to get it supremely crispy) and then transfer to a skillet with some of the sauce so you get that sticky, caramelized texture that tastes like a restaurant. <img loading="lazy" width="960" height="1118" decoding="async" data-pin-nopin="nopin" data-pin-url="https://pinchofyum.com/bang-bang-tofu?tp_image_id=149903" src="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Screenshot-2026-05-13-at-9.52.50-AM.png?fit=960%2C1950" alt="" class="wp-image-149903" style="object-fit:cover;width:300px;height:300px" srcset="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Screenshot-2026-05-13-at-9.52.50-AM.png?fit=960%2C1118&zoom=1.5 1440w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Screenshot-2026-05-13-at-9.52.50-AM.png?fit=960%2C1118&zoom=1 960w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Screenshot-2026-05-13-at-9.52.50-AM.png?fit=960%2C1118&zoom=0.5 480w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Screenshot-2026-05-13-at-9.52.50-AM.png?fit=960%2C1118&zoom=0.25 240w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /> Once the tofu looks golden and delicious, pile it on some rice with green beans (add some of that udon noodle stir-fry from Costco, in my case) and go to town with that remaining sauce. The creaminess? The sweet heat with umami? The fresh garlic bite?! Come ON. I’m not saying this is going to be a hit for all kids, but anecdotally, my girls really like this one! And the middle schoolers in attendance at our dinner party were raving.

Crispy, sticky, beautiful bang bang tofu piled on top of steamy rice. So easy and SO good! Ingredients Units US M Crispy Tofu: 1 block extra firm tofu (I highly recommend the high protein tofu from Trader Joe’s – see notes) 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil Bang Bang Sauce: 1/2 cup mayo 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce 1 clove garlic, grated sesame seeds and/or green onions for garnish For Serving: 1–2 cups cooked rice 12 ounces green beans, steamed or sautéed Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark Instructions Prep Tofu: Pull the tofu into craggly, bite-sized chunks with your hands. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-149507" src="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Pull-tofu.jpg" alt="Pulling tofu into chunks." width="600" height="400" data-pin-nopin="true" srcset="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Pull-tofu.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=1 2400w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Pull-tofu.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=0.5 1200w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Pull-tofu.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=0.25 600w" sizes="(min-width: 1220px) 653px, (min-width: 780px) calc(51.67vw + 33px), calc(100vw - 32px)" /> Coat Tofu: Toss the tofu chunks with the cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, and salt to coat (I find it easiest to use my hands). Toss again with the soy sauce and oil to coat. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-149509" src="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Toss-Tofu-with-Sauce.jpg" alt="Coating tofu in soy sauce." width="600" height="400" data-pin-nopin="true" srcset="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Toss-Tofu-with-Sauce.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=1 2400w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Toss-Tofu-with-Sauce.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=0.5 1200w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Toss-Tofu-with-Sauce.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=0.25 600w" sizes="(min-width: 1220px) 653px, (min-width: 780px) calc(51.67vw + 33px), calc(100vw - 32px)" /> Air Fry Tofu: Air fry the tofu at 350 for 10 minutes. Shake or stir, then air fry for another 5 minutes at 375, or until the tofu is crispy and golden. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-149510" src="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Air-Fry-until-Crispy.jpg" alt="Crispy tofu in an air fryer." width="600" height="400" data-pin-nopin="true" srcset="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Air-Fry-until-Crispy.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=1 2400w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Air-Fry-until-Crispy.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=0.5 1200w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Air-Fry-until-Crispy.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=0.25 600w" sizes="(min-width: 1220px) 653px, (min-width: 780px) calc(51.67vw + 33px), calc(100vw - 32px)" /> Make Sauce: Whisk the sauce ingredients together. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-149511" src="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Whisk-Bang-Bang-Sauce.jpg" alt="Whisking bang bang sauce in a bowl." width="600" height="400" data-pin-nopin="true" srcset="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Whisk-Bang-Bang-Sauce.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=1 2400w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Whisk-Bang-Bang-Sauce.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=0.5 1200w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Whisk-Bang-Bang-Sauce.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=0.25 600w" sizes="(min-width: 1220px) 653px, (min-width: 780px) calc(51.67vw + 33px), calc(100vw - 32px)" /> Sauce Tofu: Place the crisped tofu in a skillet over medium high heat. Add ¼ cup of sauce and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the tofu is coated and caramelized. The sauce will melt into a glaze-like consistency on the tofu. If you want, you can repeat this process a few times to build flavor. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-149512" src="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Add-sauce-to-skillet.jpg" alt="Tofu and sauce in skillet." width="600" height="400" data-pin-nopin="true" srcset="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Add-sauce-to-skillet.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=1 2400w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Add-sauce-to-skillet.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=0.5 1200w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Add-sauce-to-skillet.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=0.25 600w" sizes="(min-width: 1220px) 653px, (min-width: 780px) calc(51.67vw + 33px), calc(100vw - 32px)" /> Serve: The tofu should already be sticky and delicious. Plate over rice, and drizzle or dollop the remaining sauce over the tofu (you can add a tablespoon or two of water to the sauce to thin it out, if you’d like). Top with sesame seeds or green onions! I always serve this with green beans. YUM. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-149513" src="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Serve-Bang-Bang-Tofu.jpg" alt="Bang bang tofu with rice and green beans." width="600" height="400" data-pin-nopin="true" srcset="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Serve-Bang-Bang-Tofu.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=1 2400w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Serve-Bang-Bang-Tofu.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=0.5 1200w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Serve-Bang-Bang-Tofu.jpg?resize=2400%2C1600&zoom=0.25 600w" sizes="(min-width: 1220px) 653px, (min-width: 780px) calc(51.67vw + 33px), calc(100vw - 32px)" /> Notes In my experience, the high protein tofu from Trader Joe’s does not need pressing (!!) which is why I love it! It comes right out of the package pretty dry to begin with – I just blot the outside dry. However, if you’re using a different brand or type of tofu, you’ll want to wrap it in a clean towel and press it several times to remove excess moisture.

And I got so many questions! What’s in the sauce? How do you make the potatoes? We need a written recipe! So here I am with a proper, written recipe for this very yummy, colorful, flavor-packed plate. It’s going to SEEM like a lot at first glance at the ingredient list, but all those ingredients = amazing flavor. And it’s actually pretty chill to bring it all together. <img loading="lazy" width="1524" height="1956" decoding="async" data-pin-nopin="nopin" data-pin-url="https://pinchofyum.com/chicken-and-potatoes-with-smoky-sauce?tp_image_id=142578" src="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Screenshot-2026-04-29-at-1.00.44-PM.png" alt="Chicken thighs, potatoes, and cucumber salad on a plate." class="wp-image-142578" style="object-fit:cover;width:300px;height:300px" srcset="https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Screenshot-2026-04-29-at-1.00.44-PM.png?resize=1524%2C1956&zoom=1 1524w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Screenshot-2026-04-29-at-1.00.44-PM.png?resize=1524%2C1956&zoom=0.5 762w, https://pinchofyum.com/tachyon/Screenshot-2026-04-29-at-1.00.44-PM.png?resize=1524%2C1956&zoom=0.25 381w" sizes="(min-width: 1220px) 653px, (min-width: 780px) calc(51.67vw + 33px), calc(100vw - 32px)" /> End result: juicy, garlicky, oregano-y, flavor-crusted chicken, served with creamy, golden roasted potatoes, a zippy cucumber salad, and plenty of smoky aioli over the whole thing. It is delicious. Bjork and I are loving this combo, and my kids love every single thing on the plate (although they’d like you to know that they usually go for ketchup instead of the smoky aioli, of course).

Crispy chicken thighs, roasted potato wedges, and a crunchy cucumber salad all covered in a creamy, smoky sauce. Ingredients Units US M Roasted Potato Wedges 4 large Yukon gold potatoes, cut into wedges 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon kosher salt Smoked Paprika Aioli 1/2 cup mayo 1/4 cup yogurt 1 clove garlic, grated 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika pinch of kosher salt, to taste 1–2 tablespoons water, to get a slightly more drippy consistency (as pictured) Cucumber Salad 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced on a mandoline 1/4 of a red onion, thinly sliced on a mandoline 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped Chicken: 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika 1 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 3/4 teaspoon salt (I used fine-grained table salt for this) a few cracks of freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil squeeze of lemon to finish Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark Instructions Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Roasted Potatoes: Toss potatoes with oil and salt; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes; flip, and roast again for 15 minutes until nicely golden brown. Make Cucumber Salad: Toss cucumber salad together; let it rest for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors come together. Make Sauce: Whisk sauce together until smooth. Cook Chicken: Toss chicken with the spices and olive oil to coat. Air fry fat 375 for 11-13 minutes until deeply golden and 165 degrees (or, place on the sheet pan with the potatoes and roast for 15-17 minutes). When the chicken is done, I like to cut it up into bite-sized pieces for serving in a big pile on each plate. Finish and Serve: Serve chicken with the roasted potatoes, chicken, cucumber salad, warmed pita, and a dollop of sauce on a plate. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over the top. YUMMY!
