We combined two tried-and-true crowd-pleasers—a cheeseburger and a pizza—to make one winning family dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh deli pizza dough
  • 12 ounces ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1 onion)
  • 3/4 cup jarred pasta sauce
  • 8 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
  • 1 1/2 cups cups pre-shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup pimiento-stuffed green olives
  • 1/4 cup ketchup

How to Make It

Step 1

Place a large, rimmed baking sheet (at least 17 x 11 inches) in oven; preheat to 425°F. (Do not remove while oven preheats.) Unwrap pizza dough, and cover with a kitchen towel. Let dough stand while oven preheats.

Step 2

Place a large, rimmed baking sheet (at least 17 x 11 inches) in oven; preheat to 425°F. (Do not remove while oven preheats.) Unwrap pizza dough, and cover with a kitchen towel. Let dough stand while oven preheats.

Step 3

Add mushrooms to hot drippings, and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden, about 5 minutes. Add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Remove mushrooms and onions with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels.

Step 4

Roll dough into a 17- x 11-inch rectangle. Remove preheated pan from oven, and carefully place the dough onto the pan.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven just until dough is set, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven, and top with pizza sauce, beef, mushroom-onion mixture, shredded cheeses, and olives. Drizzle with ketchup.

Step 6

Return to oven, and bake until crust is golden and cheeses melt and begin to brown in places, about 15 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
