Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 batch Homemade Pizza Dough (or store-bought)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheddar-jack blend)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup pizza sauce
How to Make Cheeseburger Sheet Pan Pizza
Step 1: Prepare the dough.
Preheat your oven to 475°F. Lightly grease a sheet pan with olive oil. Stretch or roll the pizza dough to fit the pan.
Step 2: Cook the beef.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with diced onion and garlic until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
Step 3: Add the base.
Spread pizza sauce, this acts as your “burger sauce” base.
Step 4: Add toppings.
Sprinkle the ground beef mixture evenly over the dough, then add cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Step 5: Bake.
Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 6: Garnish and serve.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle with extra pizza sauce, and if you like, sprinkle on shredded lettuce, pickles, and diced tomatoes for the full cheeseburger effect. Slice into squares and serve hot!
Tips & Variations
- Double cheeseburger: Add extra cheese layers between the beef and toppings.
- Bacon cheeseburger pizza: Sprinkle on cooked, crumbled bacon before baking.
- Make it spicy: Add pickled jalapeños or a drizzle of spicy ketchup.
- Kid-friendly version: Skip the pickles and mustard for a more classic pizza taste.
