Cheeseburger Pizza

Oh yes—Cheeseburger Pizza is the ultimate comfort-food mashup 🍕🍔. All the flavors of a classic cheeseburger—ground beef, cheese, pickles, ketchup, mustard—on a pizza crust.

Cheeseburger Pizza

Servings: 4–6
Time: ~30–35 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 pre-made pizza dough (or homemade)

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar & mozzarella)

• ½ lb ground beef

• ¼ cup diced onions

• ¼ cup ketchup

• 2 tbsp mustard

• Pickles, sliced thinly

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• Optional: lettuce or tomato slices for topping after baking

Instructions

1. Preheat oven

   • 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet or pizza stone.

2. Cook beef

   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with onions, salt, and pepper until browned. Drain excess fat.

3. Prepare dough

   • Roll out pizza dough to fit your pan or stone.

   • Brush lightly with a little oil if desired.

4. Assemble pizza

   • Spread ketchup over dough (like pizza sauce).

   • Add cooked beef and onions evenly.

   • Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.

5. Bake

   • Bake 12–15 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

6. Add finishing touches

   • Remove from oven and top with mustard and pickle slices.

   • Optional: add shredded lettuce or tomato slices after baking for a “fresh burger” vibe.

Pro Tips

• Cheese: Mix cheddar with mozzarella for melty gooeyness but keep that cheeseburger flavor.

• Crust: Par-bake dough 5 minutes first for extra crispiness.

• Sauce options: Use Thousand Island dressing instead of ketchup & mustard for a Big Mac–style twist.

• Extra flavor: Sprinkle cooked bacon or caramelized onions on top.

If you want, I can also give a quick “15-minute cheeseburger pizza” version using tortillas or naan as the base—super fast for weeknight cravings.
