Ingredients

Directions

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Place bun halves, crust sides down, onto a baking sheet. Broil buns until just toasted, about 1 minute. Watch them carefully, they burn easily. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Cook and stir ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Add onion to beef; cook and stir until onion translucent, about 5 minutes more. Stir in pizza sauce, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then simmer to blend the flavors, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often.

Spoon sauce over buns on the baking sheet; top each with about 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese bubbly and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
