  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 onion, diced

Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash mixture. Sprinkle the edges of the dough with the sesame seeds.

Brown the hamburger in a skillet over medium heat with the seasoned salt, black pepper, and diced onion. Cook until no longer pink and drain any excess fat.

Meanwhile, combine the mayo, 2 1/2 tablespoons ketchup (per pizza), most of the relish, and the hot sauce in a small dish and whisk until smooth. Spread this mixture over the base of the pizza dough with the back of a spoon. Top with the cooked ground beef.
