  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1/2 lb. ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 onion diced

  • 2 Tablespoons Mustard

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a 12" pizza pan and set aside.

For the Pizza Dough:

  • Combine 1 cup four, instant yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add water and oil. Use a wooden spoon to mix until it is well blended, then add the additional flour, a little at a time, using hands to mix in the flour until a soft dough ball is formed. Dough will be slightly sticky.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and continue using your hands to knead the dough, adding additional flour if needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes).
  • Press the dough into the prepared pizza pan. Set aside.

For the Pizza:

  • Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the edges of the pizza dough
  • Sprinkle the egg washed edges with the sesame seeds to simulate the bun of a cheeseburger. Set aside
  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, brown the hamburger meat, add in the salt, garlic powder, red pepper, black pepper and diced onion. Cook until no longer pink and drain off any excess fat.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayo, 2 1/2 tablespoons of ketchup and the hot sauce and whisk until smooth.
  • Spread sauce mixture over the pizza dough and then top with the cooked seasoned ground beef.
  • Top pizza with shredded cheese, and drizzle the remaining ketchup and mustard over the top of the pizza, then dot with the dill pickle chips.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until center is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly, then garnish with fresh tomatoes and shredded lettuce, slice and enjoy!
