Pizza is a dish you might think is only available from a restaurant. However, making your own pizza at home is not as hard as it may seem. By using a store-bought crust, you can add your choice of vegetable toppings and ground hamburger to form a distinctive pizza customized to your specific preferences. You also have a selection of cheeses and a variety of sauces to choose from when you bake your own hamburger pizza. Mix and match ingredients until you come up with a formula that works.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2
Lay the pizza crust out on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Pour your choice of sauce, such as tomato or pizza, over the crust to cover all but its edges.
Step 4
Crumble the ground beef onto the sauce layer and spread the meat evenly over the center of the crust.
Step 5
Add any other toppings you want for your pizza. For example, you can add chopped onion and mushrooms to help flavor the meat.
Step 6
Layer the grated cheese over the meat and sauce. You can use any cheese or combination of cheeses for the pizza, including cheddar or mozzarella.
Step 7
Bake the pizza in the oven for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. When the cheese bubbles and the crust is brown, the pizza is done.
Step 8
Carefully remove the pie from the oven and set it on top of the stove to cool; serve.
Tips and Warnings
- Use a pizza cutter to make even slices when serving the dish. The cutter has a round blade that allows you to move across the crust quickly and with precision.
