Description
Caramelized Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza is a culinary creation that combines the flavors of a classic cheeseburger with caramelized bacon, perfect for a cozy night in or a party appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 6 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
2. In a skillet, cook the bacon until it’s just shy of crispy. Drain the excess fat, sprinkle with brown sugar, and continue cooking until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Set aside and chop into bite-sized pieces.
3. In the same skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small crumbles and seasoning with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Drain any excess grease.
4. In a small pan, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes. Brush this garlic butter over the pizza crust.
5. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, then top with the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
6. Sprinkle the cooked ground beef and caramelized bacon over the cheese.
7. Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
8. Slice and serve your Caramelized Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza hot, garnished with any additional toppings you desire.
