Stuffed Crust Cheeseburger Pizza


This is one big-ole pizza!   I had never attempted a stuffed-crust pizza before and this one turned out fabulous!

Stuffed Crust Cheeseburger Pizza

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 2" block of Velveeta cheese
1 pizza crust (the roll-out kind like a biscuit)
3 Tbsp. evaporated milk
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 Tbsp. Italian Seasonings
1 tsp. taco seasoning
1 tsp. sea salt
melted butter
1 can petite tomatoes completely drained of juices
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
6 to 8 cheese straws (or sliced long-thick chunks of mozzarella)
1/2 diced onion

Brown ground beef with onion and salt.  Drain completely and add taco seasoning.  Put back in pan and add the Velveeta cheese (cut in chunks) and 3 Tbsp. evaporated milk.  Stir constantly until cheese is completely melted.  Cool for 15 minutes.

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and roll out the crust.  Be sure to roll it out past the edges of the baking sheet so you can loop it over.  Place the straws or long slices of mozzarella all around the edges and pull the edge of the dough up and over and pinch the edges together.  Brush entire crust edge with melted butter.

Once you have drained the tomatoes, add the garlic and stir.  Drop the tomatoes evenly over the bottom of the crust (inside the cheesy edges).  Add cheeseburger mixture and top with Italian Seasonings and the entire 2 cups of mozzarella cheese. 

Always be sure not to put any toppings on the outside crust. 

Bake at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes.  When outside crust is browned and cheese is bubbly, it is done.

Enjoy!
