Cheeseburger Pizza

A cheeseburger taste, in a pizza form! Just heavenly!

1 large (16") pre-made pizza dough or homemade dough recipe
1 cup mayonnaise
3 Tbs. yellow mustard
2 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup kosher dill pickles, finely diced
1 Lb. lean ground beef
2 cups (8 oz.) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups shredded lettuce
1/2 of a whole yellow onion, thinly sliced or diced
1 whole ripe tomato, thinly sliced
1/2 cup cooked turkey bacon, crumbled (optional)

Preheat oven, according to temp. stated on your dough package. Place rolled out dough onto a greased pizza pan.

If using raw dough or homemade recipe: Pre-cook the raw pizza dough partially, prior to applying the toppings. This avoids the crust from getting under-cooked or soggy. I usually cook it at 400 degrees, for about 8-10 minutes. Then apply my toppings and cook for an additional 15 minutes, at 400 degrees F.

If using pre-made, already cooked pizza crust: Just apply your toppings and cook according to package directions.

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and pickles; set side.

In a large pan, cook beef over medium heat, until no longer pink.; drain grease.

Spread sauce over top of crust. Top with ground beef and cheese. Cook according to the instructions on your package of pre-made crust or follow the instructions on your homemade dough recipe. Cheese should be melted and bubbly.

Remove from oven and top with bacon (optional), lettuce, onion, and tomato.
