Experience a tempting fusion of a seasoned beef burger and a cheesy, crusty pizza, all in your own kitchen. This recipe is full of flavors, showcasing a delightful mix of ground beef, cheese, pickles, and special sauce on a bed of pizza dough.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard to create a special sauce, then set aside.
2
In a large heated skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Stir and break it up, cooking for about 3 minutes until it begins to brown.
3
Mix in the chopped onion, seasoning with salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Continue cooking until the meat is thoroughly browned and onions are tender.
4
Drain the cooked beef and onions using a colander to remove excess fat. Set this aside.
5
On a flat surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 14-inch rectangle. Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet.
6
Evenly spread the special sauce over the pizza dough, ensuring a 1/4-inch border is left around the edges.
7
Sprinkle half the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, maintaining the border.
8
Evenly distribute the drained ground beef, diced tomatoes and pickles over the cheese.
9
Top the pizza with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
10
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-22 minutes, or until the cheese has melted, is lightly browned and the crust is firm on the bottom.
11
Remove from the oven and let the pizza rest for 2 minutes on a cutting board before slicing.
12
Serve hot, garnished with additional red pepper flakes if desired for a spicier kick.
