Ingredients
For the Crust:
• 1 large pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Toppings:
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 1 lb ground beef, cooked and seasoned with salt and pepper
• 1 & 1/2 cups shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese blend
• 6-8 slices of cooked bacon
• 1/2 cup dill pickle slices (optional)
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
For Garnish:
• Ketchup and mustard drizzle
• Sesame seeds (optional, for an authentic burger feel)
Instructions
• Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Prepare the Dough:
• Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to a large circle, about 12-14 inches in diameter. Brush the edges with olive oil.
Assemble the Pizza:
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
Sprinkle a layer of cheese over the sauce.
Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef on top of the cheese.
• Add the cooked bacon slices on top.
Sprinkle another layer of cheese to seal in all the delicious toppings.
Bake the Pizza:
• Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Add the Burger Flair:
• Once baked, top the pizza with optional dill pickle slices and thinly sliced red onion for a true burger feel.
• Drizzle with ketchup and mustard for a finishing touch. Sprinkle sesame seeds around the crust if desired.
Serve and Enjoy:
• Slice into giant wedges and dig into this epic burger-pizza hybrid!
Tips
For extra indulgence, layer sliced tomatoes and lettuce after baking to mimic a loaded burger. Make it spicy by adding jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
