My guys are pizza fanatics. Knowing how much they love pizza, I typically add some type of pizza, stromboli or stuffed braid to my menu just about every single week.
While we may have pizza almost every week, that doesn’t mean we have the same thing all the time. I make sure to vary the type of pizza to keep things exciting.
So as I was going through the ad this week, I noticed that all the ingredients for a burger were there. I decided that instead of burgers, I would make pizza night a little more fun with a Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza!
This is always a favorite at my house as it combines my guys favorite things…it’s basically a burger with a pizza twist.
Now I have tried a lot of different variations of this pizza. I have seen some recipes that call for ketchup in place of the sauce. I have seen some versions that call for a mix of ketchup and mayo or even ketchup and mustard. BUT–my guys were NOT fans of any of those versions. We have found that a basic pizza sauce gives the tomato flavor needed without making it weird!
Once you decide on the sauce that you prefer, you really can add anything that screams burger for you. I am going to share our version of the perfect Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza but feel free to change it up and make it your own!
