Ingredients:
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1/2 cup diced cooked chicken (as a substitute for bacon)
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 egg
– 1/2 cup pizza sauce
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 large pre-made pizza crusts
– 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni-style meat alternative
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Burger Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into a giant patty that fits the size of your pizza crust.
2. Cook the Patty: Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the patty for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until it is fully cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove the patty from the heat, and let it rest on a plate.
3. Assemble the Burger-Pizza: Place one of the pizza crusts on a baking sheet. Spread half of the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, followed by a generous layer of mozzarella cheese. Carefully place the cooked burger patty on top.
4. Add the Toppings: Pour the rest of the pizza sauce over the patty, then layer on the diced chicken, sliced meat alternative, cheddar cheese, and the remaining mozzarella cheese. Place the second pizza crust on top of the layered masterpiece, pressing down gently to secure the toppings.
5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the assembled burger-pizza for 12-15 minutes or until the top crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
6. Slice & Serve: Allow the burger-pizza to cool for a few moments. Cut into wedges, serve hot, and enjoy!
