CHEESEBURGER PITAS
"Years ago, my mom converted a stuffed pepper recipe into this easy pita sandwich that calls for leftover rice," relates Becky Floyd of Riverside, California. "I've loved it since I was a kid, and now it's one of my husband's favorites, too." TIP: "For added convenience, use frozen diced green pepper and onions," advised Becky.

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.
CHEESEBURGER PIZZA
As in a classic diner cheeseburger, mustard tops the ground beef in this pizza, which bubbles with melted American cheese, fresh red onion and dill pickles. Serve it with shredded lettuce on the side to complete the burger experience and make this a "one-crust" meal that comes to the table in an hour flat.

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
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)
