Cheeseburger Pizza Delight

Ingredients

- 1 large pizza crust (12-inch)
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup sliced pickles
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Allow it to fully preheat for optimal cooking.

2. Prepare the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s fully browned, about 8 minutes. Use a spatula to break it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

3. Assemble the Pizza Base: Place the pizza crust on a large baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

4. Layer the Toppings:
- Cheese Layer: Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the tomato sauce.
- Meat and Veggies: Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef and crumbled bacon over the layer of cheese. Follow with the diced onions and sliced pickles.
- Final Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the toppings.

5. Finish with Condiments: Drizzle ketchup and mustard over the top layer of cheese for that classic cheeseburger taste.

6. Bake the Pizza: Transfer the assembled pizza to the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.

7. Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven. Let it cool slightly for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your delightful cheeseburger pizza.
