Cheeseburger Pita Pizzas image

The meat mixture may be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for quicker assembly of these pizzas when ready to eat. Double or triple the recipe as needed to serve a larger number. Yield: 3 servings (1 whole pita per serving)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces ground beef
3/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 pitas*
2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) cheddar cheese, shredded
Optional toppings: 6 grape tomatoes, thinly sliced; 6 dill pickle chips, quartered; shredded lettuce (a few tablespoons per pita)

Steps:

  • Place a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. While the oven preheats, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the beef and onion, and sauté until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Crumble the meat and sprinkle with the steak seasoning as the mixture cooks. Remove the pan from heat. For the sauce: combine the mayonnaise and ketchup in a small bowl, stirring to fully blend. Spread the mixture evenly over the pita rounds, leaving a small border. Distribute the beef mixture evenly over the sauce on each pita, and then evenly sprinkle the cheeses over the beef. If using, top with the tomato slices and pickles. Carefully transfer to the baking sheet or stone and bake for 8 minutes, give or take a minute or two, or until the pizzas are hot throughout and the cheese is completely melted. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle with lettuce, if using. Cut the pizzas into 4 wedges each and enjoy.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces ground beef
1 tablespoon yellow mustard, plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 pound refrigerated pizza dough
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
2 cups shredded American cheese (about 8 ounces)1/4 whole dill pickle, sliced into thin rounds
1/4 small red onion, finely diced, then rinsed and drained
Ketchup, for serving
Shredded lettuce, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Place a baking stone or inverted large baking sheet on the lowest rack of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Cook the beef in a medium skillet over medium heat just until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to paper towels to drain and let cool 5 minutes. Put the cooled beef in a bowl, stir in the mustard to coat and sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
  • Dust a sheet of parchment paper set on a pizza peel or inverted baking sheet with some flour. Stretch the pizza dough into a round (12 inches for thick or 14 inches for thinner) on the parchment and brush the edge of the round with the oil, then sprinkle it with the sesame seeds. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with the beef, then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the beef.
  • Slide the pizza off the parchment onto the hot stone or baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, arrange the pickle slices evenly over the pizza then sprinkle with the onions. Drizzle mustard and ketchup over the pizza and serve while hot with shredded lettuce on the side.

CHEESEBURGER PITA



Cheeseburger Pita image

David came up with this recipe yesterday for our oldest son's return from Band Camp. Our son said the camp food was something akin to packing materials and was nothing but sheer torture! In honor of our son the family burger fiend and since David was making pita pizzas anyway, he decided to combine the two into this recipe. Needless to say, our son absolutely devoured the cheeseburger pita and asked for more the next day. We hope you all enjoy it as much as he did! (But do try to eat it a little more slowly, okay? ;D)

  • Season your meat well: Don't be afraid to season your ground beef liberally. A good blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder will help to create a delicious, flavorful burger.
  • Cook your burgers to your desired doneness: If you like your burgers rare, cook them for about 2 minutes per side. For medium-rare, cook for about 3 minutes per side. And for medium, cook for about 4 minutes per side.
  • Use a good bun: The bun is an important part of any burger, so choose one that is soft and fluffy. You can use a traditional hamburger bun, a pita bread, or even a slice of sourdough bread.
  • Load it up with toppings: The best cheeseburger pitas are loaded with toppings. Some classic options include lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and cheese. But you can also get creative and add other toppings, such as avocado, bacon, or fried egg.
