Cheeseburger Skillet Pizza

Step 4: Add Cheese and Toppings

1. Evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the dough.
2. Add thinly sliced pickles on top.
3. Drizzle ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise in a zigzag pattern across the pizza.

Pro Tip: For a more authentic “cheeseburger” flavor, add a few fresh tomato slices and shredded lettuce after baking.

Step 5: Cook the Skillet Pizza

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
3. Keep an eye on the edges; if they brown too quickly, loosely cover the skillet with foil.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

1. Remove the skillet carefully from the oven using oven mitts.
2. Let it rest for 2–3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
3. Slice directly in the skillet or transfer to a cutting board.
4. Optionally, garnish with extra lettuce, tomato, or pickles for that fresh burger touch.

Tips for the Perfect Cheeseburger Skillet Pizza

• Cheese Mix: Use a mix of cheddar and mozzarella for flavor and melty stretchiness.
• Crust Options: For a crispier bottom, par-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding the beef.
• Make It Juicy: Drizzle a tiny bit of beef drippings on the dough before baking for extra richness.
• Customize: Add bacon bits, sautéed mushrooms, or jalapeños for a gourmet twist.
