🍔🍕 Ultimate Double Cheeseburger Pizza Stack 🍕🍔
A towering, cheesy, meaty masterpiece that combines everything you love about burgers and pizza in one delicious, over-the-top bake!
🧾 Ingredients:
For the Burger Layers:
- 4 lbs ground beef
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (optional – use for firmer patties or omit for a keto version)
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
For the Assembly:
- 2 large pre-baked pizza crusts (or homemade, about 10–12 inches each)
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup dill pickles, chopped
- ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tomato, thinly sliced
- Shredded lettuce (optional, for topping after baking)
- Burger sauce or extra ketchup/mustard (for drizzling)
🔪 Instructions:
- Prepare the Burger Patties:
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs (if using), salt, and pepper. Divide the mixture into two large, equal parts. Shape each into a flat, round patty roughly the size of your pizza crust. - Cook the Patties:
In a skillet over medium-high heat (or bake at 375°F/190°C), cook the patties until browned and fully cooked through (internal temp 160°F / 71°C). Drain excess grease and let them rest. - Assemble the Stack – Base Layer:
Place one pizza crust on a baking tray. Spread ½ cup ketchup and 1 tbsp mustard over it. Add one cooked burger patty on top. Sprinkle with half the cheddar, pickles, onion, and tomato slices. - Middle Layer:
Place the second pizza crust on top of the first burger layer. Spread the rest of the ketchup and mustard. Add the second burger patty, and top with remaining cheddar, mozzarella, more pickles, and onions. - Bake the Stack:
Bake the entire stack at 375°F (190°C) for about 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. - Top and Serve:
Let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice like a pizza. Optionally, top with shredded lettuce and a drizzle of burger sauce before serving.
📝 Notes & Tips:
- Breadcrumbs help hold the patties together but can be skipped for gluten-free or low-carb versions.
- Use pre-cooked pizza crusts for ease. You can also try flatbreads or naan.
- Customize with bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or jalapeños for extra flair.
- For a cleaner slice, chill the cooked stack slightly before cutting, then reheat.
