Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Prepare the Dough:

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to a large circle, about 12-14 inches in diameter. Brush the edges with olive oil.

Assemble the Pizza:

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.

Sprinkle a layer of cheese over the sauce.

Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef on top of the cheese.

Add the cooked bacon slices on top.

Sprinkle another layer of cheese to seal in all the delicious toppings.

Bake the Pizza:

Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Add the Burger Flair:

Once baked, top the pizza with optional dill pickle slices and thinly sliced red onion for a true burger feel.

Drizzle with ketchup and mustard for a finishing touch. Sprinkle sesame seeds around the crust if desired.

Serve and Enjoy:

Tips

For extra indulgence, layer sliced tomatoes and lettuce after baking to mimic a loaded burger.

Make it spicy by adding jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
