I mentioned I would be re-visiting this theme a while back. I feel that, since we all have TIME, we should be stretching ourselves creatively. So I have put a challenge to myself: what sort of foodstuffs can I fuse with a pizza? So far, I’ve done a shwarma pizza, the pierogi pizza, and my luau pizza. Next on the block is a cheeseburger pizza. I began working on this before Jason came to tell me that cheeseburger pizza apparently already exists. Well la-dee-da I’m doing one anyways.

Here’s the shot before it went in the oven. For toppings I have:

• cooked ground beef
• 3 cheeses: old cheddar, fresh mozza, and brick mozza
• green peppers
• red onions
• proscuitto
• tomatoes (but only on half)
• olive oil

I was slightly concerned that if I put a tomato-based pizza sauce underneath that it would distance the whole pizza from the cheeseburger taste and feel too much. SO instead I did very light sauce – basically just to keep the whole thing from drying out too much.

Here’s the finished product. Overall a tasty pizza. As for the cheeseburger theme, I would rate this as as close to a cheeseburger without being a burger.The only thing I would do differently would be tomatoes on the whole pizza rather than just half, and BBQ sauce mixed in with the hamburger for additional hamburgery flavour.
