Pizza is one of my favorite foods, but up until now I rarely ate it. What’s different now?
I found Crustology pizza crusts! While I love a good pizza place from time to time, I really love developing my own creations because I know exactly what ingredients are going into the foods I’m eating. And of course, it’s fun!
And while I enjoy making a complicated gourmet meal, most of the time I am all about nutritious ingredients and convenience, which is why I love this pizza crust! It also doesn’t hurt that my husband loves this pizza and he’s the first to roll his eyes when I tell him about a “lighter” version of something.
This Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza tastes exactly what it sounds like – a cheeseburger in pizza form! Made with ground beef, two types of cheeses, bacon bits and pickles, its sure to satisfy your cravings for both pizza and a burger!
INGREDIENTS
- Crustology Pizza Crust
- Olive oil or avocado oil (I used 2 tbsp, but you can use spray to cut back on fat)
- 90 grams Part Skim Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 85 grams Velveeta Shreds
- 28 grams Bacon Bits
- 1 oz Kosher Dill Pickles, diced
- 4 oz cooked Ground Beef (I used Butcher Box’s 85% lean ground beef. If you want it a little lower in fat use a leaner beef)
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Before creating your pizza make sure you cook your ground beef on the stove top, breaking up the beef until browned.
- Spray a pizza stone with cooking spray and place pizza crust on it.
- Spread (or spray) pizza crust with your oil of choice.
- Top pizza crust with with both cheeses, followed by the beef, bacon bits and diced pickles.
- Bake in the oven for 12 minutes.
- Let cool for a few minutes and then cut into 8 slices and enjoy!
This would also probably taste amazing with Trader Joe’s Magnifisauce drizzled on top, but we were all out when I was creating this recipe!
