Cheeseburger Flatbread Pizza

This Cheeseburger Flatbread Pizza takes all the best parts of a cheeseburger and piles them onto crispy flatbread, because apparently buns were feeling too predictable. Ground beef, American cheese, mozzarella, tomatoes, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and garlic aioli make it cheesy, messy, and dangerously easy to trust.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 premade stone-fired flatbreads
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 6 slices American cheese
  • Ketchup for drizzling
  • Mustard for drizzling
  • 1 pound whole milk mozzarella freshly shredded
  • 2 Roma tomatoes sliced ½ inch thick
  • 2 pickles very thinly sliced
  • Garlic aioli for drizzling
  • Baby arugula for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper so the flatbreads bake evenly and cleanup stays painless.
  • Prep the Flatbreads: Place the premade flatbreads on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the melted butter around the edges, then sprinkle the sesame seeds over the buttered crusts.

  • Par-Bake the Crusts: Bake the flatbreads for 10 minutes. This helps the edges get golden and sturdy enough to hold the beef, cheese, and toppings.
  • Brown the Beef: While the flatbreads bake, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, season it with salt and black pepper, and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

  • Add the American Cheese: Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then return the beef to the pan. Add the American cheese slices and stir until melted into the beef.

  • Build the Flatbread Pizzas: Drizzle ketchup over the center of each par-baked flatbread, then add a drizzle of mustard. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the sauce, then top with the cheesy ground beef and sliced tomatoes.

  • Bake Until Golden: Bake the flatbread pizzas for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted and bubbly and the crusts are deeply golden around the edges.
  • Finish and Serve: Drizzle the flatbread pizzas with garlic aioli, then top with thinly sliced pickles and baby arugula. Slice into 16 pieces and serve warm.
