Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasonings

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Sauce and Toppings

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup mustard
  • 1/4 cup diced pickles
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Base and Crust

  • 1 pre-made pizza dough
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F to ensure it’s hot enough for a crispy, golden crust by the time your pizza is assembled.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Make sure to drain any excess fat to keep the pizza from becoming greasy.
  3. Prepare Sauce Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, mustard, and diced pickles for a tangy, burger-inspired pizza sauce.
  4. Roll Out Dough: Roll out the pre-made pizza dough onto a baking sheet, creating an even surface and leaving a small border for the crust.
  5. Assemble Pizza: Spread the ketchup mixture evenly over the dough, avoiding the border. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the sauce, then evenly layer the cooked ground beef on top, and finish with the remaining cheese.
  6. Bake Pizza: Bake the assembled pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  7. Make Garlic Butter: Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  8. Brush Garlic Butter Crust: Once the pizza is out of the oven, brush the garlic butter generously over the exposed crust to add rich garlic flavor and moisture.
  9. Serve: Slice the pizza and serve hot. Enjoy the flavors of your double cheeseburger-inspired pizza with a delicious garlic butter crust!

Notes
