Spread evenly on the cheese are scattered slices of pickles, glistening with a greenish tint, and small bits of browned ground meat that add texture and dark brown color. The pizza rests on a white marbled surface, and a woman's hand is reaching from the top left corner, about to grab a slice. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup mustard
1/4 cup diced pickles
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 pre-made pizza dough
4 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then drain any excess fat.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, mustard, and diced pickles to create the sauce.
Step 3: Roll out the pizza dough onto a baking sheet. Spread the ketchup mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 4: Sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Then add the cooked ground beef evenly on top, followed by the remaining cheese.
Step 5: Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted completely.
Step 6: While the pizza bakes, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 7: Remove the pizza from the oven and brush the garlic butter over the crust. Slice and serve hot for the best flavor.

Tips & Variations

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ground beef while cooking.
Swap out cheddar for pepper jack cheese to add a little heat.
Use fresh diced onions or tomato slices as additional toppings for more texture.
Try making your own pizza dough for a fresher crust if time allows.

Storage

Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to keep the crust crispy. Avoid microwaving to prevent a soggy base.
