Why This Recipe Works
Bold Fusion: It captures all the flavors of a double cheeseburger with the irresistible pull of pizza. Stacked for Flavor: Layers of crust, beef, and cheese make every bite hearty and satisfying. Customizable: Just like a burger or pizza, you can tweak toppings to fit your taste.
Ingredients:
For one large pizza stack (feeds 6–8):
2 prepared pizza crusts (store-bought or homemade, 10–12 inch)
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, diced
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp yellow mustard Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sliced pickles
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (or diced Roma tomatoes)
½ cup shredded lettuce Optional: cooked bacon strips, jalapeños, or burger sauce drizzle
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place both pizza crusts on separate baking sheets or pizza pans.
Cook the Beef Mixture In a skillet, cook ground beef and onion over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat. Stir in ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
Layer the First Pizza Spread half of the beef mixture evenly over one crust. Top with half mozzarella and cheddar. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until cheese melts.
Build the Stack Place the second pizza crust on top of the first one. Spread remaining beef mixture and cheeses over it. Bake again for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and crust is golden.
Add Fresh Toppings Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Scatter sliced pickles, tomatoes, and shredded lettuce on top.
Slice and Serve Cut into wedges like pizza, but enjoy it stacked like a burger. For extra decadence, drizzle with burger sauce or top with bacon.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with crispy fries or onion rings for the full burger experience. Serve with cold sodas or milkshakes for a diner-style vibe. For party portions, slice into smaller wedges and serve as shareable finger food.
Tips & Variations
Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or pepper jack cheese. Healthier Spin: Use lean beef or ground turkey, and add extra veggies like grilled peppers or mushrooms. Sauce Drizzle: Mix mayo, ketchup, and pickle juice for a quick “burger sauce” to drizzle on top before serving. Mini Stacks: Make individual stacks using smaller crusts or naan bread for personalized servings.
