Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a large round pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. Mix until evenly combined.
Press the ground beef mixture into a large, even circle on the prepared pizza pan, shaping it to resemble a pizza crust approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Bake the hamburger crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. As it cooks, some juices will release. Carefully drain the excess fat from the pan, if necessary.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the cooked hamburger crust, leaving a small border around the edge.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring even coverage.
Top the pizza with your chosen toppings, such as pepperoni slices, diced green bell pepper, sliced black olives, and mushrooms.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the toppings are cooked to your liking.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for about 5 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Hamburger Crust Pizza!
