How to Make My Ultimate Double Cheeseburger Pizza Stack

1. Prepare the Beef Patties:
   In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs (if using), salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into large, round patties about the size of your pizza crust.
   .
2. Cook the Patties:
   Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each patty for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and fully cooked. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
   .
3. Assemble the Stack:
   Place one pizza crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread a layer of pizza sauce, then top with a cooked beef patty, followed by a generous layer of cheddar and mozzarella. Add another crust, more sauce, a second patty, and more cheese. Repeat until all patties and crust layers are used, finishing with cheese on top.
   .
4. Add Pepperoni and Bake:
   Arrange pepperoni slices over the top layer of cheese. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
   .
5. Rest and Slice:
   Let the stack rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges with a sharp knife.

Preparation Steps for Success

To create this delicious pizza stack, start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with eggs, breadcrumbs, and seasonings, mixing until well combined.

Cook the beef mixture in a skillet until browned, which typically takes about 8-10 minutes.

Once cooked, drain any excess fat to keep the pizza from becoming greasy.

Assembling the Pizza Stack

The assembly of this cheeseburger pizza is where the fun begins.

Begin by spreading pizza sauce over one of the pre-made pizza crusts, then layer half of the cooked beef mixture on top.

Add half of the shredded cheese and a layer of pepperoni slices before placing the second pizza crust on top.

Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients for a towering effect.

Baking to Perfection

Once assembled, place the stacked pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Keep an eye on it until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a beautiful golden crust.

After baking, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing to ensure the layers hold together.

Serving Suggestions and Enjoyment

This cheeseburger pizza is best served hot, straight from the oven.

Garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and added flavor.

Pair it with a side salad or some crispy fries for a complete meal that will satisfy even the heartiest of appetites.

Whether for a casual dinner or a special occasion, this pizza stack is sure to impress everyone at the table.

• Pair this rich dish with a crisp side salad or garlic bread for balance.

Tips for the Best Ultimate Double Cheeseburger Pizza Stack

Use freshly grated cheese for the best melt and texture. Toast the pizza crust slightly before assembling to prevent sogginess.

If you want to lighten it up, mix ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for leaner layers. Make sure the patties are slightly smaller than the crust to avoid overhang during stacking.

Storage and Warming of Leftovers

Wrap leftover slices tightly in foil or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes or until warmed through.

Avoid microwaving, as it can make the crust soggy.
