Ingredients
Cheeseburger Pizza
- 1 recipe for homemade pizza dough (or use your own favorite dough)
- 1 cup homemade pizza sauce (or use your own favorite sauce)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (use whole milk mozzarella if possible)
- ½ cup drained dill pickle chips (use more if you like!)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Cheeseburger Sauce
- 2 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 3 tablespoons good quality mayonnaise
Instructions
Cheeseburger Pizza
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Sauté onion until just softened and a bit translucent. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add ground beef to the skillet with onion and garlic, breaking the beef apart with a spatula. Season with salt & pepper, to ensure a nice amount of flavor, and stir to combine. Cook until beef is browned and fully cooked; drain away any excess fat. Remove skillet from heat and set aside to cool.
- On a floured surface, roll prepared pizza dough to a thickness of ⅛" to ¼", in a round shape about 15" in diameter.
- Place dough round onto a lightly greased large pizza pan, baking sheet, or the inverted backside of a baking pan. (If desired, place the dough round on a piece of parchment instead, then place the whole thing on your pan - no need to grease the pan first.)
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
- Sprinkle 2 cups of mozzarella over the pizza sauce. Add ground beef, followed by the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Then scatter pickle chips over the top.
- With a kitchen brush, lightly brush the edge of the pizza crust with water, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake pizza in preheated oven until crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 13 minutes or so. Place under the broiler to blister the cheese a bit, if desired.
Burger Sauce
- While pizza is baking, prepare the Burger Sauce by combining ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Mix well.
Finish
- After you remove the pizza from the oven, let the pizza rest for a few minutes to let the cheese and toppings settle in. Then drizzle the Burger Sauce over the top. Now slice, serve, and enjoy!
