Ingredients
- 1 large pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 lb ground beef, cooked and seasoned with salt and pepper

- 6-8 slices of cooked bacon
- 1/2 cup dill pickle slices (optional)
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- Ketchup and mustard drizzle
- Sesame seeds (optional, for an authentic burger feel)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Put a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat it up.
- Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface into a big circle, about 12-14 inches wide. Brush the edges with olive oil.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border for the crust.
- Sprinkle a layer of cheese over the sauce.
- Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the cheese.
- Layer the crispy bacon slices on top of the beef. You can never have too much bacon!
- Add another layer of cheese to seal in all the yummy flavors.
- Carefully transfer your pizza to the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once baked, add optional dill pickle slices and thinly sliced red onion for a classic burger touch.
- Drizzle some ketchup and mustard on top for that finishing flair. Want to get fancy? Sprinkle sesame seeds around the crust!
- Slice into generous wedges and enjoy your epic burger-pizza hybrid!
