Addictive Cheeseburger Pizza

"The comment I hear from everyone the first time they eat this is, "This is the best pizza I've ever had!" My daughters have old high school friends who still ask for this. It's very filling, so one pan goes a ways."

directions

  • Brown the burger, sausage, green pepper, onion, and garlic until the meat is fully cooked.
  • While this is cooking, spread/pat/roll your crust unto a greased jelly roll pan, pushing the dough up the sides to make an edge.
  • Prebake the crust in a 400 oven for 7-10 minutes or until it just begins to color.
  • Top the hot crust with the desired amount of pasta sauce.
  • (I don't like too much sauce on my pizza) Add the meat mixture, spreading evenly.
  • Top with the sliced Velveeta cheese, leaving about 1/2 inch between slices.
  • Add the mozzarella cheese in an even layer.
  • Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes, or until the top layer of cheese begins to brown.
  • Allow to sit for 5 minutes before cutting into 12 squares.

  1. My kids, ages 5 and 8, chose this recipe and they helped make it. Both kids loved it, and one even requested that we make it again the next night. My husband and I, however, were less impressed... too much Velveeta (even went light on it) and not enough other flavors for us. I put buffalo sauce on my portions and while it sounds strange, it was actually pretty good that way. This won't go into our regular menu rotation, but if the kids request it again, I'll just know to make a second pizza for the adults.
     
  2. Didn't like the Velveeta thrown in there.
     
  3. Very yummy! It reminds me of when I was a child. My mom would make hamburger pizza on Saturday night. (With a Chef Boy-ar-dee pizza kit!) (I used all hamburger, as that is all I had.) The only negative thing was that I thought the Velveeta was a bit overpowering, and I LOVE cheese! Next time, I would try using Kraft American cheese (pre-sliced), as it won't be so thick. The pizza sauce, cheese and hamburger blended together wonderfully! This is a keeper!
     
  4. This was superb! I used jalapeno in place of the green pepper, hot Italian sausage, Pepper Jack Velveeta, topped this bad boy with shaved sweet onion, sliced jalapenos and chopped tomatoes.

  5. The Velveeta gave this an odd taste.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Minnesota, and actually like the winter more than summer! (Must have Siberian ancestors!) The main focus of my life is, and always has been, children. I've spent the majority of my life either educating myself about children, having and raising children, or working with children. I presently work in an elementary school with children that have emotional/behavioral difficulties, and have three daughters of my own. I also have four grandsons (one an extra gift that came when my daughter very wisely married his dad) and will become Grandma to the the 5th baby in June. This one a little girl! I can not wait!! I received so much joy being a mother that finding that much joy, and more, in being 'Grandma' has taken me by surprise. They are all the best gifts ever given to me. Whatever free time I have is spent with my nose in a book, surfing the web for new recipes, or with my wonderful friends, both online and "in person".
