Easy Cheezy Faux BBQ Cheeseburger Pizza

At a Glance
  • Feeds 3-4 people
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Time: 25-30 minutes
Ingredients
  • Pizza Crust (pillsbury works well)
  • 8oz (1 package) grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 small onion (diced, sliced, chopped whatever you want)
  • 1 package vege Crumble by Morning Star (or some version of soy burger crumble)
  • 2 tsp sausage seasoning
  • 1 packet McCormick's Grill Mates Hamburger Seasoning (meatloaf seasoning can substitute if you can't find the hamburger flavor)
  • Sweet Barbeque Sauce (this will be your base, so enough to cover base of pizza crust)
  • 2 tbsp Ketchup
  • OPTIONAL: Bacos, Fake Bacon Bits, peppers (but dont put so much on that it takes away from the burger-like taste)
  • OPTIONAL: left overs from sloppy no's or faux meatloaf work well on this meal
Method
  • Preheat oven to temperature for pizza dough to be cooked
  • Take pizza dough, roll it out on cutting board with flour or corn meal to keep it from sticking
  • Put burger crumble in microwave for a couple of minutes to defrost. You don't want to cook it much at all, as this will happen in the oven. Just enough so that you can separate it and it is not frozen at all anymore.
  • Combine ketchup, spices and burger crumble, then microwave for 1 minute.
  • Put as much BBQ sauce as you want on your base of the pizza. Remember, more BBQ sauce means more hot liquid when you bite into the slice, so be careful how much you pile on there. Try putting some on the outside of the crust too, so some cheese will stick to it and make it all delicious.
  • Put thin covering of cheddar cheese on the pizza base. Yes...put the cheese on first.
  • Put burger crumble mixture onto pizza base...as much as you want.
  • Put onions onto pizza
  • Cover with thin sprinkling (or as much as you want) of cheddar cheese. The less you put on, the better the underneath will cook in the oven. IE: dont put so much cheese on that the cheese burns before the crumble and top of the pizza base cooks properly.
  • Put pizza(s) in oven and cook according to instructions for crust.
