Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound prepared fresh pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided (1 tablespoon to brush the dough and 1 tablespoon to cook the ground beef)
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup small diced yellow onion, divided (¾ cup for the beef, ¼ cup for toppings)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2½ cups shredded yellow American cheese (from an 8-ounce piece sliced at the deli counter)
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- ⅓ cup hamburger-sliced dill pickles, patted dry
- ⅓ cup bottled Thousand Island dressing
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly spray a 15 to 16-inch round pizza pan with non-stick spray.
- Roll or stretch your pizza dough to 14 inches and place it on the prepared pan. Poke holes in the dough with a fork, leaving about a ½-inch border around the edges.
- Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and bake for 15 minutes. Once par-baked, set aside to cool.
- While the dough bakes, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining olive oil, ¾ cup diced onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned. Drain excess grease with a slotted spoon.
- Spoon the drained beef mixture onto the par-baked dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust. Top with shredded American cheese.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 7-11 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden.
- Remove the pizza and top with shredded lettuce, the remaining diced onion, pickle slices, Thousand Island dressing, and sesame seeds.
- Slice and serve hot.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef for a less greasy result.
- Customize toppings with extra pickles or onions for more Big Mac flavor.
- Serve with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side for dipping.
