This was really good! We had bought a cheeseburger pizza from a local pizza shop awhile back and liked it. I did a search and found this recipe. It was very similar to the pizza we had bought so I expected it to taste a little different. I made a few adjustments--used 1 lb. of meat and less pickles (sprinkled them on top before baking like the pizza shop had done). Thanks for the recipe!
What do you make when you're short on time and need to make dinner in a hurry? This would be it! It's basically a hybrid of two all time favorites pizza and cheeseburgers- what could be easier or better, right? I added a little garlic to the ground beef and sauteed the onion along with it. I used all reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese (about a cup and a half) and left out the mozzarella altogether. I definitely added the optional shredded lettuce and chopped tomato along with the dill pickle slices. And, while I have to admit that while I love pizza and I love cheeseburgers I think I'll stick to them separately. (Even though my husband loved it) This a really good recipe for a quick meal!
Used my own pizza dough, we grilled them on the gas grill, since too hot for the oven. Everybody said, "It taste just like a cheeseburger"...must have been good because four of us ate the whole two pizzas. Fun meal, thanks.
It worked so well. I did add some steak seasoning to the meat while cooking to give it a bit more flavour and I used my own homemade dough instead of a bought crust. I would have never thought of using a ketchup and mustard mix as the sauce something so simple but it really pulled it together. I am so making this again.
We loved this!!! We followed the directions exactly, except we added bacon as well. The only thing we would change is to split up the cheese and put part under the meat/onion combo and part on top. Will definitely make often!
Awesome. Made my own dough and added onion soup mix to ground beef, which is how I like my burgers. This will be a go to pizza recipe for me!
Very good recipe. I skipped the mozzarella just to cut calories down some and used Three cheese cheddar but other than that I stuck to the recipe with some lean grass-fed beef. And yes... it tastes just like a cheese burger. Thanks for the recipe.:)
Very nice. I'll definitely make it again
This is the first "hit" for a google search on Papa John's Cheeseburger pizza recipe. If you're looking for that...keep looking because this is not it. I've had PJ's Cheesburger Pizza every time they offer it...many times over. And I don't even have to try to recipe to know the sauce is NOT simply a ketchup and mustard blend (actually sounds horrible on a pizza). I can tell you by tasting it PJ's pizza there is very little if ANY mustard on the pizza. Doubtful that PJ's sauce will be duplicated unless we have insider help!
