bacon cheeseburger sheet pan pizza

How To Make bacon cheeseburger sheet pan pizza

• 
  Step 1
  In a large skillet, fry bacon over medium heat until crisp; remove bacon to paper towels; set aside.
• 
  Step 2
  Drain all but 1 tablespoon grease from skillet and set skillet aside; dispose of excess grease (or store in refrigerator for another use.)
• 
  Step 3
  Add ground beef, onions, ground black pepper and salt to skillet.
• 
  Step 4
  Cook over medium/medium-high heat until beef is thoroughly cooked and no trace of pink remains. (Just to be absolutely sure that the beef is thoroughly cooked, you may cover skillet with lid or foil, reduce heat to medium and cook an extra minute or two.)
• 
  Step 5
  Shut off heat and drain mixture thoroughly in a strainer.
• 
  Step 6
  Return cooked beef to skillet or heat resistant bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to top pizza.
• 
  Step 7
  Pour both crust mixes into bowl and prepare as directed on package. (The brand that I use requires 1/2 cup warm water per package.)
• Step 8
  Generously grease an 18"x13" sheet pan with olive oil. (Occasionally, I'll sprinkle a teaspoon of plain cornmeal evenly over the oil to help prevent sticking.)
• Step 9
  After dough has rested for time required by package instructions, fold dough over onto itself 3 or 4 times; shape dough into a ball and place on prepared sheet pan.
• Step 10
  Pat and stretch dough out to to completely cover bottom of pan and slightly up the sides and corners (this takes some time and patience as it may want to snap back; keep at it, it will eventually behave.)
• 
  Step 11
  Using fingertips, lightly tap and poke at the dough to even out the thickness.
• Step 12
  Place oven rack in lowest position and preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• 
  Step 13
  Evenly spoon sauce over dough.
• 
  Step 14
  Squirt mustard in streaks or swirls on top of the sauce.
• 
  Step 15
  Place pickle slices evenly on top.
• 
  Step 16
  Crumble bacon into approximately 1 inch pieces; distribute evenly over pickle layer.
• 
  Step 17
  Sprinkle with 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese.
• Step 18
  Evenly distribute beef and onion mixture over top.
• 
  Step 19
  Evenly sprinkle with cheddar cheese and then the remaining mozzarella.
• Step 20
  Bake on lowest rack at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes, rotating after first 10 minutes.
• 
  Step 21
  Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• 
  Step 22
  Run a knife all the way around the edge of pizza to loosen from pan.
• 
  Step 23
  Cut into squares with pizza wheel and/or knife; use metal egg or fish turner to loosen bottom of pizza from pan and transfer to plates.
• Step 24
  Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
