Cheeseburger Pizza..Say what?

Having three children to feed it is not always easy to come up with a meal that they all will enjoy. So...why not make your own pizza! Who doesn't like pizza, especially a good home-made one. First we made the dough*, then we put on the grill to give it extra flavor and set the dough. Now comes the fun part....toppings. We had the standard pepperoni/meat lovers pizza, and the smiley face veggie, but my new favorite comes from and idea I got at a Casey's Convenient Store. Cheeseburger Pizza!
Sounds crazy? No way...this is really good. OK so bear with me...you start with a little ketchup(honestly, I am not a big fan of ketchup but it works on this) and mustard, then hamburger(cooked), and onions(raw), then pickles(dill-sliced), then cheese(American cut into strips)






Bake in 375 degree oven for 8-10 min (Bubbly not brown). Remove from the oven(take a whiff..it smells just like a cheeseburger..go figure). Let it cool 1-2 min and top with sliced (or chopped) tomato and shredded head lettuce. Cut and serve with fries...just kidding. Please give it a try, or let me know your crazy version of pizza. Good eats!

* Pizza Dough 4- 8" pizzas
1 package Dry Yeast
1/2 tsp. Sugar
1 cup warm water
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp sea salt
1Tbl olive oil
In a mixing bowl combine the water, sugar and yeast(let stand 5-10 min)
Add the flour, salt and oil to the yeast mixture and combine into a dough
knead the dough for 2-3 min. and divide into 4 oz portions
Roll out and place on heated grill 1-2 min per side.
