Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (12-inch round) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Pickle slices
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely sliced
- 1 cup Shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round and transfer it to a baking sheet or a pizza peel if you're using a pizza stone.
Brush the pizza dough lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to ensure a golden crust when baked.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Cook the beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and mustard to create the pizza sauce. Spread this mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, followed by the cooked ground beef, pickle slices, cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices.
Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and the shredded cheddar cheese.
Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle the shredded iceberg lettuce over the top and, if desired, finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a true burger-style touch.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your All American Cheeseburger Pizza!
