đź›’ Ingredients
For the “Crusts”
4 lbs ground beef
2 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for structure)
For the “Burger” Layers
2 lbs ground beef, cooked and crumbled
1 cup onion, sautéed
Optional: sliced pickles, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes
For the “Cheese” Layers
16–24 slices cheddar cheese (or preferred cheese)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
For the “Sauce” Layer
1 cup ketchup
½ cup mustard
4 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp relish (optional)
For the “Pizza” Topping
1 cup pizza sauce or marinara
8–12 oz pepperoni slices
👨‍🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Meat “Crusts”
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine 4 lbs ground beef, seasonings, eggs, and breadcrumbs (if using). Mix well.
Divide mixture in half and press into two greased large pizza pans or sheet pans to form thick, round crusts.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until cooked through. Drain excess grease.
2. Assemble Each “Burger Pizza”
Spread half of the cooked crumbled beef over one crust.
Top with half of sautéed onions, optional toppings (pickles, lettuce, tomato).
Layer with cheddar cheese slices.
Mix ketchup, mustard, mayo, and relish. Spread half over cheese layer.
Top with half of the pizza sauce, then half of the mozzarella.
Finish with a layer of pepperoni. Repeat with second crust and remaining ingredients.
3. Stack & Bake
Carefully place one assembled burger pizza on top of the other.
Return to the oven and bake for 20–30 minutes, until the top cheese is bubbly and golden and everything is heated through.
4. Cool & Serve
Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing—it will be hefty! Slice like a deep-dish pie and serve warm.
đź“ť Notes
Use two spatulas or cutting boards to stack the pizzas—it’s a beast!
Customize the cheese and sauce layers to match your favorite burger.
Drain meat crusts well to avoid sogginess.
