Ingredients

  • 2 pizza doughs buy it pre-made or double the first recipe on this page
  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef -if you have a little less that's fine or ground turkey or chicken would work too
  • 2 tsp garlic granules divided
  • 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
  • 3/4 cup tomato sauce
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 4 cups chopped lettuce
  • 1 tomato chopped
  • 4 baby dill pickles
  • 1/2 ketchup
  • 2 TBSP mayonnaise
  • 1 TBSP mustard
  • 2 TBSP pickle juice to thin it down use just enough to thin the sauce down
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  • if you're making your own dough get it made, then roll it around in a mixing bowl with the olive oil then cover it getting rising
  • brown the ground beef, drain the fat, add the 1 tsp garlic granules, the Worcestershire sauce and then taste for salt and pepper, add as needed, cover and set aside
  • mix the tomato sauce with the rest of the garlic granules and warm over low heat
  • meanwhile make the topping sauce by putting all the ingredients except the pickle juice in a food processor and pulsing it, scrape it down and pulse again
  • taste it, if you like it great! if not add more of what you like, maybe more pickles or mustard? Or more mayonnaise
  • once you get it right add a TBSP of pickle juice so you can dribble it over the finished pizza if you want to, if you'd rather dollop then leave it alone and don't add the juice
  • time to make the pizza
  • preheat the oven to 400˚
  • pat out the pizza dough on pizza pans OR in cast iron skillets roughly 10-12 inches in size
  • bake for five minutes to get the crust firmed up
  • pull them out spread the tomato sauce evenly between the two pizza crusts
  • top with cooked ground beef and divide the cheese between them, save a little for garnish if you want to but it's not necessary
  • bake until the cheese is melted, about 12 minutes, maybe a little longer depending on your oven
  • once the cheese is melted it's time for toppings
  • divide the lettuce and tomato over the top of the pizza
  • drizzle the topping sauce over the top, garnish if desired
  • cut and serve while hot
