Cheeseburger Pizza:
Sausage Cheeseburger Pizza (Cooking for Kids - Southern Living at Home Ckbk)
*made this way, it tastes much like a Krystal
1 lb. Bob Evans Original Recipe Roll Sausage (or lean ground beef or turkey)
1 (12 inch) prepared pizza shell
1/2 cup yellow mustard
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup chopped onion
15 dill pickle slices
3/4 cup (3oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 425. Crumble and cook sausage in medium skillet until browned; drain well on paper towels. Place pizza shell on lightly greased 12" pizza pan on baking sheet. Spread mustard over shell; top with mozzarella cheese, sausage and onion. Place pickle slices evely on top; sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

I ususally don't use the mozzarella when making it this way and use 8 oz. of cheddar cheese instead. Follow above instructions, using your choice of meat. I chop 1/2 cup onion and cook it with the meat because the kids like it better when the onions are softer - I like it either way. On top of crust (we usually make our own instead of the prepared), spread a layer of ketchup (maybe 1/3- 1/2 cup); I have put it on the pizza sometimes, and other times have served ketchup on the side - the family likes it either way and I haven't decided yet which way I like it best, then a layer of mustard. Add cooked meat, pickles, about 1/2 - 3/4 cup chopped fresh spinach and approx. one tomato, thinly sliced. Top with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake as directed above.
Pizza Dough:
Just in case you want to try making your own, too! Makes enough for 2 pizzas; we double the above recipe because 1 pizza isn't enough for our family. ; )
1/2 Tbsp. dry yeast
1/8 c. warm water
1 1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
Approx. 5 1/2 cups flour
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup oil
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Heat milk to warm (110-115 degrees). Add sugar, salt, and yeast to milk. Gradually mix in 2 cups flour. Add beaten egg and oil. Mix well, then add remaining flour, until you have a soft dough, kneading well. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled. Punch dough down and let rest for 10 min. Divide in half and spread each half on a greased and floured 12 in. pizza pan. Add favorite toppings. Bake at 400* for 15 minutes; add shredded cheese and bake 5 min more until cheese melts.
Confession: this was on our menu for last week, but these photos are about 2 yrs. old. We had a crazy busy week and it got pushed to this week's menu instead. Bad blogger ~ but look how cute my Ashlyn was! ; ) This is one of her favorite recipes!*made this way, it tastes much like a Krystal

Yum! This is a definitely a "must try" recipe. My daughters would enjoy making and eating the pizza!
Thanks for the great recipe! Looks as if it was fun to create. Happy Monday! ☺
Why cheddar instead of mozzarella?
Why cheddar instead of mozzarella?
We use mozzarella when we make a traditional Italian pizza, but for this recipe, we prefer Cheddar - it's typically what we put on our cheeseburgers! =)
Thanks for letting us link up!
