Recipe by Dragon
Sometimes you just have to give in to your cravings. Right? Who's with me? The other day I was craving a cheeseburger but instead of driving to the nearest burger joint, I stayed home and made my bacon cheeseburger pizza. Everything you love in a cheeseburger but on a pizza instead of a bun. There is only one word to describe this pizza; indulgent! You're going to love it. :)
Makes: 12 slicesIngredients:
24 oz pizza dough (I used the pizza dough from Artisan Bread In Five Minutes A Day book)
1/3 cup BBQ Sauce
1/2 cup onions, sliced
3/4 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional)
1 1/2 cups lean ground beef, cooked
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and sliced
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 slices applewood smoked bacon, cut in 1 inch pieces
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat oven with a pizza stone to 375 degrees.
2. Sauté onions and mushrooms until the onions are soft and caramelized. If you have some thyme, added it to the onion mixture for extra flavour.
3. Roll out a piece of dough flat and thin. The pizza should fit the pizza stone with about 2 inches around of space. There is no need to let the dough rest.
4. Spoon the BBQ sauce on top of the pizza dough and spread evenly.
5. Top the BBQ sauce evenly with ground beef, onions, mushroom, tomato slices, bacon and cheeses.
6. Transfer the pizza to the pizza stone and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
7. Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing it.

Okay, I'll give in, especially when it looks so delicious. Beats the pizza chains hands down.
Indulgent? I'm in, feet first.
This sounds delicious and it would satisfy my families constant cravings for burgers. Lovely post.

This is brilliant! Thanks for mentioning our book and dough (again!).

Um... that's 5 words :) But you're still absolutely right. I love the BBQ sauce, and of course the toppings. You ever try to grill a pizza? I think this would be perfect.
This looks sooo good! This is gonna be dinner one night this week! Thanks!
mmmmmm...pizza! I love that book - it is awesome! I made some pizza recently too using their olive oil dough.
You know, sometimes an idea is so bizarre that it just WORKS! And I'm with Adam, this would be amazing grilled!
And the more I hear about it, the more I'm convinced I need to check out that book!
Great pizza and great crust...
Abraço
I seem to recall that this pizza had black olives instead of mushrooms on it.
Other than that abomination, it looks great.
What a great sounding and looking pizza!
That pizza looks terribly scrumptious!
Cheers,
Rosa

LOL! Genius! Although these days I tend to be more of a pizza purist (mozarella and tomato, with maybe some olives or Parma ham) I do recall that back in SOuth Africa we used to go to a pizza joint called Panarottis where you coudl get a cheeseburger pizza pie - basically a version of this with mustard. It was INCREDIBLE and totally addictive - yours looks like something I'm just going to HAVE to try!
WOWZERS!!!!!! THAT LOOKS GREAT!!!!! YUM YUM IN THE TUM TUM I WOULD MOST DEF EAT THAT!!!!
