Forget about boring weeknight dinners. This is a showstopper, perfect for game day, backyard parties, or when you simply want to impress your friends and family with something legendary.
In this detailed guide, you’ll learn how to make a beef-based crust (yes, beef!), layer it like a classic cheeseburger, and bake it into a pizza that will blow everyone’s mind.
Ingredients
For the “Crust”:
- 4 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend recommended for flavor and structure)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional, for extra depth)
For the Toppings:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced dill pickles
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional, for post-bake drizzle)
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- Shredded lettuce (optional for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (optional for that “bun” effect)
Instructions (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper or foil. This will help manage grease and make cleanup easier.
Step 2: Form the Meat “Crust”
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
Press the beef mixture evenly into a round pizza shape on the baking sheet. It should be about 1/2-inch thick. Use your hands to shape clean edges and create a uniform layer. This is your protein-packed crust!
Step 3: Bake the Crust
Place in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked and starting to brown on the edges. Remove from oven and carefully drain any excess grease using paper towels.
Tip: For a crispier base, place the crust on a wire rack set over a baking sheet for the last 5 minutes.
Step 4: Add Sauces and Cheese
Spread ketchup and mustard over the top of the cooked beef crust like you would pizza sauce. This mimics the flavor of a cheeseburger perfectly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly on top. Return to the oven for another 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Step 5: Add Fresh Toppings
Remove the pizza from the oven. Top with sliced pickles, red onions, diced tomatoes, and (if using) shredded lettuce. Finish with a light drizzle of mayo or more ketchup if desired.
Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds around the edges to mimic a burger bun.
Step 6: Slice and Serve
Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Cut into wedges and serve immediately while the cheese is still gooey and the beef crust holds firm.
