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
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)
Directions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to heat up.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large circle, about 12–14 inches in diameter. Brush the edges with olive oil for a crisp, golden crust.
Step 3: Assemble the Pizza
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle a layer of cheese over the sauce, followed by the cooked ground beef. Add another layer of cheese on top to seal in the toppings.
Step 4: 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 brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Step 5: Add the Burger Flair
Once out of the oven, top the pizza with optional dill pickle slices and thinly sliced red onions for that signature burger taste. Drizzle ketchup and mustard over the top for extra flavor. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds around the crust for an authentic burger touch.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Slice into giant wedges and enjoy this ultimate burger-pizza hybrid! Perfect for parties, game nights, or a fun family dinner.
