    Ingredients

    ingredients of cheeseburger pizza on a countertop

    When it comes to pizza, you don’t need many ingredients. Everything comes together quickly, especially if you’ve already got some ground beef ready. Leftover ground beef works perfectly.

    Can You Put Raw Hamburger on Pizza?

    Never put raw hamburger on your pizza. It won’t cook the way it needs to cook and can be dangerous. Cook your ground beef separately.

    The same goes for bacon. If you want to use bacon, cook it first. Then, you can crumble as much as you like.

    What Kind of Pizza Dough?

    I prefer to make my own pizza dough, but it’s time consuming. I need to prepare ahead of time. If you don’t have the time, you can usually find ready-made pizza dough in the spaghetti sauce aisle, That makes things go more quickly.

    Homemade Pizza Dough

    When making this Cheeseburger Pizza Recipe, I make the pizza dough on the day before using my Homemade Pizza Dough recipe.

    Making the dough the day before means that it gets more elastic and easier to handle for the rolling out. It’s super easy and fun too! If I can do it, you can do it.

    Brown the Ground Beef

    This is a ground beef recipe, like most hamburgers around my house. After you brown your ground beef, be sure to chop it.

    When you cook ground beef, big clumps of it may be fine for spaghetti and other pasta, but you want a finer texture for your cheeseburger pizza.

    It’s best to get a nice fine dice with the toppings so use an Ulu Knife, if you can. Not only is it easier but it’s safer as well. I use it all the time.

    What Sauce to Use for Hamburger Pizza?

    I tried three different sauces for this cheeseburger pizza recipe and finally settled on regular ‘ole pizza sauce from the store. I thought I would get “fancy” with different more hamburger-y sauces, but plain sauce was the winner.

    Assemble the Pizza

    I’ve discovered that it’s more fun to assemble a pizza when you have little bowls of everything all lined up and ready to use. This cheeseburger pizza recipe has everything shown here. In other words, it includes tomatoes, sauce, onions, ground beef and dill pickles.

    Assembling a pizza is really easy. Just use the back of a spoon to cover the crust with sauce then sprinkle everything all over. It’s surprising how such an easy thing can be so incredibly delicious.

    Finding the Perfect Cheese

    I also tried three different cheeses. Havarti is definitely the one for a smooth cheesy goodness. Other cheeses simply didn’t speak to me in clear cheeseburger language.

    You won’t have to spread out shredded cheese. Evenly distribute the slices over the top and pop in the oven!

    Garnish with chopped green onion and red pepper flakes. Serve with a fresh garden salad and some onion rings. You can use the remainder of the pizza sauce for dipping, if you like.

    This Easy Cheeseburger Pizza Recipe is made with tomatoes, pickles and creamy Havarti cheese. Throw it together quickly in less than a 30 minute delivery.

    For more information, be sure to check the recipe details in the attached 24Bite® post.

    Ingredients

    • ½ recipe Pizza Dough

    Pizza Toppings

    • Cooking Spray, like Pam
    • 7 ounces Pizza Sauce, jarred or canned
    • ½ pound Ground Beef, fully cooked
    • ¾ cup Onion, diced
    • ¾ cup Tomatoes, finely chopped
    • ½ cup Dill Pickles, finely chopped
    • Salt and Pepper, to taste
    • 8 ounces Havarti Cheese, slices

    Instructions

    • Make pizza dough according to instructions or use a pre-purchased pizza crust, if you prefer. Note that, if using the pizza dough at the link, you will need to start several hours earlier or the day before.

    Assemble Pizza

    • Preheat oven to 425℉.
    • Spray pizza pan with cooking spray. Place crust on pan and pinch the edges a little, if you like. This helps to catch the sauce from spilling over.
    • Evenly distribute pizza sauce over pizza crust. Evenly distribute cooked ground beef, onions, tomatoes and dill pickles. Add salt and pepper, if you like. Evenly distribute Havarti cheese slices over top.
    • Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until done. Cool slightly and cut into 8 pieces. If desired, garnish with chopped green onion, freshly cracked pepper and red pepper flakes.
