Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 egg
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup pizza sauce
– 1/2 cup sliced spicy chicken strips
– 8 cooked strips of turkey or veggie bacon
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 large pre-made pizza crusts
Instructions:
1. *Prepare the Burger Base:*
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and shape the mixture into a large patty that fits the size of your pizza crusts.
2. *Cook the Patty:*
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the patty in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the patty is fully cooked and browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
3. *Assemble the Burger-Pizza:*
Start by placing one pizza crust on a baking sheet. Spread half of the pizza sauce evenly over the crust. Next, sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese on top followed by placing the cooked burger patty directly on the cheese.
4. *Add the Toppings:*
Spread the remaining pizza sauce over the burger patty. Top with the cooked turkey or veggie bacon strips, spicy chicken strips, the remaining cheddar cheese, and the leftover mozzarella cheese. Gently lay the second pizza crust on top of the layered toppings, pressing down slightly.
5. *Bake to Perfection:*
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled burger-pizza into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheeses are melted and bubbling.
6. *Slice & Serve:*
Allow the burger-pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges. Serve hot, and enjoy this monumental mash-up with your favorite dipping sauces!
