Cheeseburger Pizza






I made this one nite and my dear hubs was like, um, aren't you making pizza? I said yes, why? His reply, why are you putting PICKLES on the pizza? My response... I am making a cheeseburger pizza! That's what you put on cheeseburgers, right? He was a bit skeptical, but he did try it when it was done...

Let's just say his response was, oh wow, this is GOOD!!!! So the next time I made it, I put even more pickles on it! I was a bit hesitate with putting the pickles on, so I didn't put too many on, but it's sooooo good! And it's easy!!!

I normally have browned ground beef (you could use turkey if you want too!) in my freezer, and I always have the pickles... so all you have to do it break off a chuck of meat and then add the rest of the stuff! :)

For the sauce, it's ketchup and a little bit of hot sauce. If you want it more spicy, just add more hot sauce, but by adding a bit of hot sauce, it just adds a bit more flavor!



Mix the ketchup and hot sauce together

Spread out your pizza dough...
or if you didn't make it, put your pizza crust on the stone or pan... ;)


Spread on your "sauce", the ketchup mixture


Layer the ground beef


Then the onions


Then the pickles, as many as you want!


Then the shredded cheddar cheese, just enough to cover the top


All done!


Up close of the pickles and cheese... kinda blurry, but it's really good!!!!


Cheeseburger Pizza


Pizza Crust

Pizza Sauce:

1 cup ketchup
a couple shakes of hot sauce, more if you like it hotter!

For the pizza:

1 pound browned beef- or turkey - you may not even need that much, just depends on how much meat you want on it! ;)
1 small onion, chopped and diced
Sliced dill pickles - the amount depends on how many you want to put on!
Enough shredded cheddar cheese to cover your pizza

Combine the ketchup and hot sauce together and stir to combine. Spread over your pizza crust.
Then add the browned beef, onions and then add as many pickles as you want.
Then spread the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Cook until the cheese is melted and crust is a nice golden or lite brown.

Depending on what you use for your crust will depend on how long it will take to bake.
Enjoy!!!
