How to Make All American Cheeseburger Pizza

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Prepare the caramelized onions: In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add 1 large onion, thinly sliced, and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and golden brown.
  3. Prepare the pizza crust: Use your favorite pizza dough recipe or store-bought crust. Press the dough into a 12-inch pizza pan.
  4. Spread a thin layer of your favorite burger sauce (about 1/4 cup) over the pizza crust.
  5. Evenly distribute 1 pound of ground beef over the sauce, breaking it up with a spoon.
  6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the ground beef.
  7. Top with the caramelized onions.
  8. Add 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
