Cheeseburger Pizza with Beef, Bacon, and Onions delivered on a Classic Hand Tossed Pizza Dough. For Pickle Lovers, add some Pickles to the Pizza. Then top it off with a Mozzarella & Provolone Cheese Blend with a bit of Cheddar Cheese.

Pizza Dough

Served on the Classic Hand Tossed Pizza Dough. Have it on the Deep Dish or Thin Crust too.

Cheeseburger Pizza Toppings

The Cheeseburger Pizza always consists of Ground Beef, Onions, and Bacon. Add other ingredients such as Mushrooms, Dill Pickles, and diced Tomatoes if desired.

Ground Beef

Cook Ground Beef in a pan with some Soy Sauce and/or Worcestershire, covered with a lid. Break it down while cooking into desired chunks. When halfway done, cook uncovered until just done.

Bacon

Chop the bacon into tiny pieces to create Bacon Bits. Cook this with a lid on as well initially, which helps create that Pizzeria texture. Once it’s almost done, remove the lid and cook until desired crispness. Strain off the grease and save that for other recipes, or use the bacon grease to brush the crust.

You could also chop these into 1-inch strips and fry or bake in the oven, like the Old Style Pizzerias.

Onions

Chop the onions any way you prefer. Optionally use a combination of Onions, combining Yellow, White, Red Onions. Use Green Onions to Garnish if desired.

Cheeseburger Pizza Sauce

Use any kind of Pizza Sauce. The key thing really is to add Ketchup to the Pizza Sauce. Not too much, just a small amount to lift the flavors, barely noticeable. Optionally with Beef Broth to up the beef flavors.

Quick Tomato Sauce

Quick Tomato Sauce is my go-to here as well as the Cheeseburger oven sub. This already contains Beef Broth & Ketchup and is pairs up really well for an outstanding meal.

Standard Pizza Sauce

Use Pizza Sauce mixed with a small amount of Ketchup. Optionally add Beef Broth.

Tomato Soup Pizza Sauce

This is a Tomato Soup Pizza Sauce based on the Quick Tomato Soup with added ingredients, and works really nicely here with the Cheeseburger Pizza.

Cheeseburger Pizza Cheese

For Pizzas, nothing beats the blend of Mozzarella & Provolone at a 3:1 ratio. Here, however, we also include cheddar cheese. It really offers up the right sharpness for this style of Pizza. Use a high moisture mozzarella cheese. Optionally, use a three Cheese blend that contains cheddar cheese for this type of Pizza.

Everything Bagel Crusted Pizza

To get Extra Fancy, brush the entire Pizza Dough with Garlic Sauce or Aioli or Just the Crust with a Bagel Wash. Then Season it with Everything Bagel Seasoning.

Bagel Wash

The Bagel Wash is made up of baked Baking soda & water that is brushed onto the dough before cooking and is optional.

To make the baked baking soda, place 1 Cup of baking Soda on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour at 250 F. This causes a chemical reaction that makes the baking soda highly alkaline.

Careful handling this. The highly alkaline powder can cause irritation.

Use 1 tsp of baked Baking Soda with 2-4 tsp of Water, depending on how dark you want the product. The amount of heat and the duration affect browning as well. Since Pizza cooks up much faster than other items, a stronger solution is desired to achieve good browning.
