Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound prepared fresh pizza dough
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2.5 cups shredded yellow American cheese
Meat and Seasoning:
- 1 cup small diced yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Toppings and Garnish:
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 0.33 cup hamburger-sliced dill pickles
- 0.33 cup bottled Thousand Island dressing
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Instructions
- Ignite the oven to 425F (220C) and coat a 15 to 16-inch round pizza pan with non-stick spray.
- Expand the pizza dough to 14 inches and position on the prepared pan, strategically piercing with a fork, maintaining a 12-inch border.
- Lavish the dough with olive oil and roast for 15 minutes until partially crisp, then allow to cool momentarily.
- Simultaneously, sizzle ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat with onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until richly browned. Eliminate excess grease using a slotted spoon.
- Distribute the seasoned beef across the par-baked dough, preserving a 1-inch perimeter, then blanket with shredded American cheese.
- Reintroduce to the oven and bake 7-11 minutes until cheese melts and crust transforms to golden perfection.
- Garnish with fresh lettuce, remaining onions, tangy pickle slices, drizzle Thousand Island dressing, and sprinkle sesame seeds.
- Slice into wedges and serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Customize dough thickness by rolling it thinner or thicker based on personal preference for a crispier or chewier crust.
- Consider using lean ground beef to reduce overall fat content and make the recipe slightly healthier.
- Experiment with homemade Thousand Island dressing for a fresher, more personalized flavor profile.
- Replace American cheese with a blend of cheeses like cheddar and mozzarella for added depth and complexity.
