📝 Ingredients for Ultimate Double Cheeseburger Pizza Stack

For the Beef Layer:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Burger Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tbsp ketchup

  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped pickles or relish

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

For the Pizza Stack:

  • 2 store-bought pizza crusts or naan rounds (12-inch)

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 small tomato, diced

  • ½ cup sliced dill pickles

  • Optional: shredded lettuce, for topping

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing crust)

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Cook the Beef:

    • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

  2. Make the Burger Sauce:

    • Mix mayo, ketchup, mustard, pickles, and paprika in a bowl. Set aside.

  3. Assemble the First Pizza Layer:

    • Place one crust on a baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of burger sauce.

    • Add half of the beef mixture, half the mozzarella, some cheddar, red onions, and a few tomato pieces.

  4. Stack the Second Layer:

    • Top with the second crust. Repeat sauce, beef, remaining cheeses, pickles, and more tomatoes and onions.

    • Brush outer crust edges with olive oil.

  5. Bake:

    • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

    • Bake for 12–15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden.

  6. Optional Topping:

    • Let cool slightly, then top with shredded lettuce and a drizzle of remaining burger sauce before serving.

📌 Notes:

  • You can use homemade pizza dough if preferred.

  • Feel free to customize with bacon bits, jalapeños, or sautéed mushrooms.

  • For a crispier crust, bake on a preheated pizza stone.

💡 Tips:

  • Use lean beef to avoid excess grease.

  • Chill burger sauce for 10 minutes before spreading—it thickens and tastes better.

  • For easy slicing, let the pizza stack cool for 5 minutes after baking.
