Description
Build quick and easy pizzas on pita bread with all your favorite cheeseburger fixings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 batch homemade pita bread (or packaged pita bread)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 large onion, diced in small pieces plus some cut into thin slivers for the top of the pizza
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Ranch dressing or sour cream
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
- Shredded lettuce
- Dill pickle slices, drained and blotted dry on paper towels
- 2-3 fresh tomatoes, sliced thinly
- Cooked bacon (optional), crumbled
- Bottled burger sauce
Instructions
- If you’re using frozen pita bread, set it on the counter to thaw while the oven preheats.
- Place a pizza stone inside your oven if you have one (use an upside-down sheet tray if you don’t). Turn up the heat to 450F (232 C). Allow the oven to heat for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, brown the ground beef, onions, salt, and pepper in a skillet with the olive oil until the beef is cooked through and the onions are translucent.
Set aside the filling to cool. - Place 2 pita breads on a pizza peel or a sheet tray.
Top each pizza with about 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing or sour cream, spreading it on the bread with a spoon. - Cover the bread with some of the beef and cheese. Squeeze stripes of mustard and ketchup across the top of each pizza.
- Slide the pizzas onto the hot stone or overturned sheet tray in the oven. Bake the pizzas just until the cheese is melted and starting to brown. The edges of the pita should also be browning. This will take about 4 minutes.
- Use the peel to remove the pizzas. Top each pizza with shredded lettuce, burger sauce, slices of tomatoes, onions, and pickles and bacon if you’re using it.
- Continue baking pizzas until you’ve used up your pita. Enjoy immediately.
