Ingredients for 2 pizzas:

  • Pizza dough
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1/2 cup ketchup, divided
  • 1/4 cup relish
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 4 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • Mustard

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425. Lightly grease a 12″ pizza pan, spread pizza dough on pan.

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.

Spread the shredded cheese over the top. Drizzle the remaining ketchup and mustard over the top of the pizza, followed by the remaining relish.

Bake for 14-18 minutes, or until the center is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing.
