Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 12-inch (store-bought or homemade) Whole wheat pizza crust
- 8 oz Lean ground beef
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
- 1 tsp Mustard
- 1 cup Shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Onion
- 0.25 cup Dill pickles
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Shredded lettuce
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a store-bought pizza crust, follow the package instructions for pre-baking if required.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce, ketchup, and mustard until smooth. Spread the sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the cooked ground beef evenly over the sauce layer.
Top with shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese and low-fat cheddar cheese to cover the beef and sauce layer.
Scatter the chopped onion, dill pickle slices, and cherry tomato halves evenly over the pizza.
Place the pizza on a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the crust is crisp.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Optionally, top with shredded lettuce for a fresh crunch.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Low Fat Cheeseburger Pizza!
