Double Cheeseburger Pizza is a crispy crust that is topped with your favorite cheeseburger toppings. This cheeseburger pizza recipe makes for a delicious lunch or dinner!
Ever since my son was little pizza has become a weekly routine at our house. Actually, pizza was almost every night when my husband would get home from work late so he could have dinner with his family. Our son loved it!
Later when my son started preschool I realized that the other families in his class were bringing their children pizza for lunch on Fridays. Not wanting to be outdone I began bringing in Pizza every Friday as well! This is when I realized how many kids enjoy pizza for lunch.
As my son grew he started wanting to eat more toppings on his pizza so I decided to experiment with different types of pizzas. One of the first was Cheeseburger Pizza which he absolutely loved!
This recipe made enough for my family of 3 so I always had leftovers to bring in for lunch the next day.
The first time I made this recipe was years ago but it still remains a family favorite! To me it's just not pizza without crispy crust and ground beef! Of course you can make it your own by adding your favorite toppings. Have fun making it and enjoying it!
Cheeseburger Pizza
I remember going to a pizza buffet for the first time on a trip to Buffalo, and one of the options was cheeseburger pizza. I'd never heard of the concept before, so naturally I had to try it. To this day, my favorite type of pizza is still a cheeseburger pizza with mushrooms added in.
This pizza rapidly became one of my favorite fast foods. Once I tried this cheeseburger pizza recipe I knew that I had to remake it at home, so I waited until my son was old enough to venture into new foods on his pizza other than cheese and pepperoni.
