Giant Burger-Pizza: The Ultimate Fusion Feast

 

What You’ll Need:

For the Crust:
1 large pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 tbsp 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 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)

‍ Steps to Create It:

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
First things first—let’s crank up that oven to 475°F (245°C). Toss in your pizza stone or baking sheet so it gets nice and hot.

2️⃣ Prepare the Dough:
Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface until it reaches about 12-14 inches in diameter. Don’t forget to brush those edges with olive oil for a golden finish!

3️⃣ Assemble the Pizza:
Spread the luscious pizza sauce evenly over your dough, but leave about an inch around the edge for that crust. Now sprinkle on a generous layer of cheese—because who doesn’t love extra cheese? Next, scatter the seasoned ground beef all over that cheesy goodness. Lay down those crispy bacon slices like they’re going out of style. Top it off with another heavenly layer of cheese.

4️⃣ Bake the Pizza:
Carefully slide your masterpiece onto that preheated stone or baking sheet. Pop it in there for about 12-15 minutes until you’ve got a golden crust and melted, bubbly cheese calling your name.

5️⃣ Add the Burger Flair:
Once baked to perfection, top off your creation with optional dill pickle slices and thinly sliced red onion for all those classic burger vibes. Drizzle some ketchup and mustard on top like a pro! If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle sesame seeds around that glorious crust.

6️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:
Slice this bad boy into giant wedges—your friends are going to want seconds (or thirds)! Dive into this epic burger-pizza hybrid with glee!

Tips for Extra Deliciousness:
Feeling adventurous? Toss on some sliced tomatoes and crunchy lettuce after baking for an even fresher bite! Want some heat? Throw on jalapeños or drizzle hot sauce like it’s confetti!
