Step-by-Step Preparation (Layered Comfort Madness)
Step 1: Prepare the pizza dough (10 minutes)
Roll out dough into a large round or rectangle.
Brush lightly with olive oil.
👉 Don’t make it too thick—this base supports heavy toppings.
Step 2: Cook the beef layer (10–12 minutes)
In a skillet, cook ground beef until browned.
Add:
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Worcestershire sauce
Mix well and cook until flavorful and slightly juicy.
👉 Drain excess fat if needed, but keep some moisture for flavor.
Step 3: Make the burger sauce (3–5 minutes)
Mix together:
- Mayo
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Relish
- Spices
👉 This is your “secret burger flavor” layer.
Step 4: Build the pizza base layer (5 minutes)
Place dough on baking tray.
Spread a thin layer of burger sauce.
Add a layer of shredded mozzarella.
Step 5: Add beef layer (5 minutes)
Spread cooked beef evenly over cheese.
👉 This is where the “burger” identity kicks in.
Step 6: Add cheese stack (3–5 minutes)
Add:
- Cheddar slices
- More mozzarella on top
👉 Yes, this is intentionally extra.
Step 7: Add toppings (5 minutes)
Top with:
- Pickles
- Onions
- Tomato slices
- Optional bacon or jalapeños
Step 8: Bake (20–25 minutes)
Bake at 200°C (390°F) until:
- Cheese is melted and bubbly
- Crust is golden and crisp
- Everything is fully heated through
Step 9: Rest before slicing (5–10 minutes)
Let it sit so layers set slightly.
👉 This makes slicing easier and less messy.
