Yes, I’m posting pizza recipe AGAIN! I’ve expressed many times before how much we love pizza and I didn’t lie, I asked hubby dearest what he wants for lunch and it took him a second to answer (Pizza). I’m not going to act as if I didn’t want pizza too, but this time, I thought of making Beef Burger Pizza.
Making Beef Burger Pizza
I have mentioned in my recent post Chicken Tikka Pizza, that to me pizza is like an open sandwich. This recipe is when you want your carbs and protein badly.
This beef burger pizza is a combination of juicy and properly seasoned beef burger and a tender, flavorful, chewy crust.
If you want to skip the pizza part and just make the burger, you are in for a pleasant surprise. You cannot go wrong when making these burger patties. Although I shallow fried them on the stovetop, you can grill the burgers for extra explosive flavor.
The pizza crust is the same one I used in BBQ Chicken Pizza and Chicken Tikka Pizza, it is my favorite recipe and so far, I didn’t find any pizza dough that can beat its flavor or texture.
I hope you like my new craze!
Follow me on Instagram, and if you happen to make any of my recipes, please post the picture and mention me in your post, or use this hashtag #munatycooking. I would love to see your creation.
As for my recipe, here you go!
Ingredients
FOR THE BURGER
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1/2 medium onion finely chopped
- 1/3 cup packed breadcrumbs
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- 1 large egg
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ tablespoon oil
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
FOR THE DOUGH
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup warm water you may need less
- 2 teaspoon dry active yeast
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 tablespoon sugar
FOR THE SAUCE
- 1 cup basic marinara sauce. I used store bought.
- Extra toppings:
- 1/2 medium onion thinly sliced.
- ½ green pepper thinly sliced
- 1 ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
MAKING THE DOUGH
- Mix water with yeast and sugar, keep aside for 10 -15 minutes. Add olive oil.
- In a bowl, whisk or sift flour with salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and knead. You should get a smooth elastic dough that does not stick to your hand.
- Cover and let it rise in warm place for an hour or until it doubles in size.
- Punch the dough and knead for 1 minute. Lightly grease the baking sheet/pan with olive oil. Place the dough in the baking pan and using your hands spread the dough to the shape and thickness you desire. In this recipe, I used a 12-inch pan.
- Cover and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes.
MAKING THE BEEF BURGER
- In a bowl, add all the ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Make five patties. Keep aside.
- In a frying pan, add a little oil, when hot fry the burgers. Each side might take 4 to five minutes to cook.
- When the burgers cool, cut into thick strips.
MAKING THE BEEF BURGER PIZZA
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F.
- Spread the marinara sauce on the dough, avoiding the edges.
- Evenly spread the beef burger strips and the extra toppings (except the cheese.) on the dough.
- Bake for 12 minutes. Bring the pizza out of the oven, add the mozzarella and cheddar cheese, place back in the oven and bake for another two to three minutes or until the cheese melts.
- Serve hot.
I love thin pizza crust..this looks way too tempting with all the melted cheese atop.
It tasted so good Angie and I remembered you while writing the post for some reason 🙂

Oh my! I am so in love with this! Burger and pizza together! Nothing can beat that! It is so tempting! I’m sure it’s flavorful and delicious!
Oh yeah! It felt like having a party, I love this pizza 🙂
Adding MEAT to a pizza is a TOTAL MUST for me. I actually love making MEAT CRUST pizza – you know, to get EVEN MORE meat! 😉
I can’t wait to try this! I prefer beef to sausage on my pizza, so this is perfect for me!
That looks really good. I love homemade pizza, especially when it’s a bit on the rustic side like this one is.
I LOVE pizza and burgers. This beef burger pizza looks right up my alley. I will have to give it a try sometime.
I love the generousity of cheese on that pizza. Good thing there are bits of veggies to go with that meat.
I need new recipes and this is perfect. Thank you my kids will love it.
Pizzas are our favourite, though being a vegetarian we have very few options but none the less we enjoy it 😊
Burger on a pizza? Wow. That absolutely looks delicious and satisfying!
Nnnniiiiccceeeee….this must be a nice one! I would love to make myself one.
sounds like a fun combination of two favorites – burgers and pizza. i wonder how much different the pizza is from say a meatball pizza or sausage pizza.
This looks yummy! I love the creativity with pizza. I also love pizza! Way to jazz up a classic meal!
This looks perfect! It has meat and veggies, works for our whole house!
