Title: Cheeseburger Pizza Pie – A Delicious Fusion of Two Comfort Foods

par

  1. Preheat the oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a pie dish or a deep-dish pizza pan for assembling the pizza pie.

  2. Cook the beef filling:
    In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it’s browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
    Add the chopped onion and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened. Stir in garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
    Stir in ketchup, mustard, and chopped pickles. Let the mixture simmer for a couple of minutes to combine the flavors. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. Prepare the pizza dough:
    Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to fit the size of your pie dish. Press the dough into the dish, forming a crust around the edges. You can fold the dough over the edges of the dish for a rustic look or leave it open.

  4. Assemble the pizza pie:
    Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the base of the dough.
    Then, spread the cheeseburger filling evenly over the sauce.
    Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top of the beef mixture.

  5. Bake the pie:
    Bake the pizza pie in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

  6. Add toppings:
    Once the pie is baked, remove it from the oven and add fresh lettuce, tomato slices, and more pickles on top for an extra burger-like touch.

  7. Serve:
    Slice the cheeseburger pizza pie and serve warm. Enjoy the amazing combination of flavors!

Serving and Storage Tips:

  • Serve hot: This dish is best enjoyed right out of the oven while the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat the pie in the oven to restore the crust’s crunch.

Variants:

  1. Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza Pie: Add crumbled bacon to the beef mixture for extra flavor and crunch.
  2. Veggie Version: Replace the beef with a veggie burger patty or plant-based ground beef for a vegetarian version.
  3. BBQ Cheeseburger Pizza Pie: Use barbecue sauce instead of ketchup and mustard in the filling for a tangy twist.

FAQ:

1. Can I use a pre-made crust?
Yes, you can use a pre-made pizza crust or even a frozen pie crust to save time. Just follow the package instructions for baking.

2. Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prepare the cheeseburger pizza pie ahead of time, cover it, and refrigerate it before baking. When ready to bake, just add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time.

3. Can I freeze this pizza pie?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled but unbaked pie. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, remove from the freezer and bake as usual, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
