Ingredients
For the Pizza Crust
1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch of salt
For the Burger Layers
1 lb (450 g) ground beef
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 slices cheddar cheese (or American cheese)
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup sliced pickles
4 slices cooked bacon (optional)
For the Pizza Toppings
1/2 cup pizza sauce or burger ketchup
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Lettuce leaves, chopped
Tomato slices
Mustard and ketchup for drizzling
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and a pinch of salt.
Step 2: Cook the Beef Patties
- Divide ground beef into two or three equal portions depending on how thick you want your burger layers.
- Form into patties slightly smaller than the pizza dough.
- Season with salt and pepper and cook on a skillet over medium-high heat until just cooked through. Add a slice of cheese on top of each patty to melt.
Step 3: Assemble the Pizza Stack
- Spread pizza sauce or burger ketchup evenly over the prepared pizza crust.
- Place the first beef patty (with melted cheese) on the crust.
- Sprinkle diced onions and add pickles or bacon if using.
- Add the next patty, then repeat the toppings.
- Finish with shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let it cool for 2–3 minutes before adding fresh lettuce, tomato slices, and a drizzle of mustard or ketchup.
Tips for the Perfect Cheeseburger Pizza Stack
Juicy beef patties: Don’t overcook your patties—they’ll continue cooking slightly in the oven.
Cheese melt: Use a combination of cheddar for flavor and mozzarella for gooey stretchiness.
Customize toppings: Add jalapeños, sautéed mushrooms, or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
Layer carefully: Stack toppings evenly so the pizza doesn’t become too heavy and soggy.
Serving Suggestions
Slice like a pizza and serve immediately while hot and cheesy.
Pair with crispy fries or a simple salad for a complete meal.
Perfect for game day, movie nights, or an indulgent weekend treat.
This Ultimate Double Cheeseburger Pizza Stack is a show-stopping meal that combines the comfort of pizza with the indulgence of a cheeseburger. One bite, and it’s a flavor explosion!
