Pioneer Woman Cheeseburger Pizza is made with ground beef, bacon, cheddar cheese, pickles, and a buttery pizza crust. This easy cheeseburger pizza recipe creates a cheesy pizza that takes about 30 minutes to prepare and can serve 2 to 3 people.
Ingredients Needed:
- 1 whole pizza dough (for a 10-inch crust)
- 3 oz. ground beef
- 1/8 onion, finely diced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 slices bacon
- 2 Tbsp. butter or bacon grease
- 1/4 tsp. ketchup, plus extra for drizzling
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced kosher dill pickles
- Mustard, as needed
How To Make Cheeseburger Pizza:
- Cook the Ground Beef and Bacon: While the pizza dough is rising, cook the ground beef with the diced onion in a skillet over medium-low heat until no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the bacon until slightly less done than you normally prefer. Set both aside.
- Preheat the Oven: About 20 minutes before the dough is finished rising, preheat the oven to 450ºF (230ºC). Place a pizza stone or a heavy, flat stainless steel cookie sheet in the oven to preheat.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a sheet of parchment paper to form a 10-inch circle. Spread the butter or bacon grease evenly across the dough, reaching the edges. Spread a thin layer of ketchup over the dough as the sauce.
- Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the dough, then top with the cooked ground beef, bacon slices, and pickles. Drizzle with mustard and extra ketchup to taste.
- Bake the Pizza: Transfer the pizza (on the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Use preheated stone: Make sure to preheat your pizza stone or baking sheet to get a crispy crust.
- Cook bacon slightly underdone: Bacon will finish cooking in the oven, so don’t overcook it in the skillet.
- Spread butter or grease evenly: Ensure the butter or bacon grease coats the entire pizza dough for extra flavor.
- Customize your toppings: Adjust the amount of ketchup, mustard, or pickles to your taste preferences.
- Let it cool: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes after baking to make slicing easier.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
Storing in the Fridge: Store leftover pizza slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat slices in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to crisp up the crust again.
