Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Crust
  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Beef Topping
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Toppings
  • 2½ cups shredded American cheese
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • ⅓ cup sliced dill pickles, patted dry
  • ⅓ cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Before You Begin
  2. Preheat and prepare your cookware as needed. Cooking times and results may vary depending on your equipment and ingredients.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Stretch dough onto a greased pizza pan, poke holes with a fork, and brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  4. Bake crust for 15 minutes until lightly set. Remove and set aside.
  5. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with ¾ cup onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until fully browned and the beef reaches a safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Drain thoroughly.
  6. Spread beef evenly over crust, top with cheese, and bake 7–11 minutes until cheese is melted and crust is golden.
  7. Add lettuce, remaining onion, pickles, dressing, and sesame seeds. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Drain beef thoroughly before assembling to keep crust crisp.
  • Add fresh toppings only after baking for best texture.
  • Serve soon after assembling for optimal structure and flavor.
  • Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and store airtight up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in a 375°F oven until hot throughout for best results.
