No one said a cheeseburger had to only be between the buns! This Cheeseburger Pizza is loaded with all the goods we like on our burgers, but pizza style.

Cheeseburger_Pizza_BLOG_use_1Cheeseburger as a pizza? Oh yes, and it was spectacular. It is so fun to be creative with food and for me this is thinking outside the buns. This Cheeseburger Pizza was so quick and easy to make I am ready to make it again. I think my favorite part about this Cheeseburger Pizza (besides eating it) was the way it smelled coming hot out of the oven. Just like those fast food burgers that makes our mouths water, but a bit on the healthier side. I used extra lean ground sirloin which was nice because I didn’t have all the grease to drain off or make the pizza soggy, yet it still provided lots of good flavor.

Ingredients
  1. 4 ounces 90% lean ground sirloin
  2. 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  3. 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  4. 2 tablespoons canola mayonnaise
  5. 2 tablespoons unsalted ketchup
  6. 1 (10-ounce) prepared pizza crust (I used Boboli)
  7. 2 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1/2 cup)
  8. 1 ounce reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1/4 cup)
  9. 1 plum tomato, thinly sliced
  10. 10 dill pickle chips
  11. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Place a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet in oven. Preheat oven to 450°.
  2. While oven preheats, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, onion, and salt to pan; cook 3 minutes or until beef is browned. Remove pan from heat.
  3. Combine mayonnaise and ketchup in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Spread mayonnaise mixture over crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Spread beef mixture evenly over mayonnaise mixture. Sprinkle cheeses over beef. Top evenly with tomato slices and pickles; sprinkle evenly with pepper.
  4. Bake at 450° for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned. Cut pizza into 8 wedges.
