Instructions
Creating your Big Mac Pizza can be a delightful experience. Follow these simple steps to achieve the perfect result:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Add onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
3. Prepare the Pizza Crust: Roll out your pre-made pizza crust on a floured surface. If you’re using a homemade crust, follow your recipe to prepare it.
4. Layer the Sauce: Spread the special sauce evenly over the prepared pizza crust, leaving a small border for the crust.
5. Add the Beef: Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the sauce layer.
6. Cheese It Up: Sprinkle both cheddar and mozzarella cheese generously over the beef.
7. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
8. Prepare Fresh Toppings: While the pizza is baking, prepare the fresh toppings by washing and chopping the lettuce and tomatoes.
9. Assemble After Baking: Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and pickles over the top.
10. Finish with Sesame Seeds: For that authentic Big Mac touch, lightly sprinkle sesame seeds over the pizza.
11. Slice and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges.
