Step-by-Step — How to Make a Cheeseburger Pizza Stack
1. Prepare the Ground Beef Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine:
✔ ground beef
✔ eggs
✔ breadcrumbs (optional)
✔ salt + black pepper
Mix gently — overmixing can make beef tough.
Divide into 2 large patties (for double layer) or 3 smaller patties (triple stack).
2. Cook the Patties
You can:
✔ pan fry
✔ grill
✔ bake
Cook until browned and cooked through, but don’t dry them out.
Internal goal temp: 160°F (71°C) for food safety.

3. Prepare Pizza Bases
Choose:
✔ ready-made pizza crusts
✔ homemade flatbread
✔ naan
✔ or biscuit dough baked into rounds
Lightly toast or bake crusts to firm them up — prevents sogginess.
4. Add Sauce & Cheese
Spread pizza sauce, ketchup, or burger sauce on each crust.
Top with mozzarella or cheddar.
5. Stack the Layers
Begin layering:
➡ Crust
➡ Beef patty
➡ Cheese
➡ Onions + pickles (optional)
Repeat until double or triple layer stack is formed.
6. Bake for Melting & Finishing
Place the entire stack in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until cheese is melted & bubbly.
7. Add Fresh Toppings & Slice
Remove from oven and top with:
✔ lettuce
✔ tomatoes
✔ extra pickles
✔ mustard drizzle
Slice into wedges like pizza.
Serve immediately for best texture.

Why Breadcrumbs Help (Optional Addition)
