Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 inch pizza crust (see note)
- ½ pound ground beef
- 6 slices bacon
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ¼ cup tomatoes chopped
- ¼ cup lettuce chopped
- 2 tablespoons red onion peeled and minced
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or sauce of choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the package directions for your 12 inch pizza crust. If using our homemade pizza dough, shape the dough on a greased pizza pan and par-bake at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes.
- Cook ½ pound ground beef, breaking up the meat, until it's cooked through. Drain any excess grease. Cook 6 slices bacon until almost crispy, flipping as needed. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, crumble it into pieces.
- Spread ½ cup cheddar cheese evenly over the pizza crust. Top with the cooked ground beef and bacon.
- Bake the pizza according to the package directions for your crust. If using our homemade pizza dough, return the topped pizza to the 400 degree F oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven.
- While the pizza is still hot, top with ¼ cup tomatoes, ¼ cup lettuce, and 2 tablespoons red onion. Finish with a zig-zag or swirl of 2 tablespoons mayonnaise over the top of the pizza. Cut into 6 slices and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use a premade pizza crust, flatbread, or homemade pizza dough. Cooking temperatures and times will vary depending on the crust you choose, so follow the package directions when using a premade crust.
- For an easy mayo drizzle, spoon the mayonnaise into a food storage bag, snip off one corner, and use it like a piping bag to make a swirl or zig-zag over the pizza.
- Sauce options: We like to drizzle mayo over the pizza after baking, but you can use Fry Sauce, Big Mac Sauce, ketchup, mustard, or your favorite burger sauce instead. For a saucier pizza, spread a thin layer of sauce over the crust before adding the cheese, beef, and bacon.
