    This recipe shows you how to make a Bacon cheeseburger pizza! Easy and delicious for a quick weeknight meal that the whole family will love!

    Close up of a slice of bacon cheeseburger pizza With a few tricks that I’ll share, you can have this pizza done in 45 minutes, even if you don’t have the dough done already!

    What tricks make this a fast dinner, you ask?

    Either buy premade, frozen dough from the grocery store, or, make your own, with yeast made specifically for pizzas, there is no need to let the dough rise! What is the difference with pizza yeast?

    Use a mixer with a dough hook, or a bread maker to make the dough within 10 minutes, hands free.

    This homemade bacon is perfect for this pizza!

    When you make bacon, always make extra and freeze it for later use. If you have an air fryer, you can actually make it fresh in under 10 minutes.

    Use premade sauce, either homemade or store bought.

    Notes

    IMPORTANT NOTE!! I USE EITHER THE 1000 ISLAND DRESSING OR THE TOMATO SAUCE, DEPENDING ON WHAT WE FEEL LIKE ON THAT NIGHT! I DON’T USE BOTH SAUCES ON THE SAME PIZZA!!
    Recipe makes enough for 4 9″ pies, except where noted.
    Pizza crust can be cooked in the oven, in a pizza oven or directly on the grill, on a pizza stone or a grill mat.
    Leftovers last 3-4 days.
    Uncooked dough can be frozen, up to 4 months.
    Tips for yeast dough:
    You can “bloom” yeast in water or milk and sugar to see if it is still active. Liquid should be very warm. Some yeasts require no blooming.
    Always check package of yeast for recommended temperature of liquid, different types and brands bloom best at different temps.
    Don’t rush the rising process. Dough should be doubled in the pan.
    Rise dough in a warm spot, covered with a clean kitchen towel. I usually turn the oven on low and place the rising dough near the exhaust of the oven. Not directly under the exhaust, but on top of the stove.
    When using pizza yeast no rising is necessary. 
    When using Rapid Rise Yeast only a rest is required.

      My wife introduced this to our family. Rather than using regular Pizza crust we use French Bread loaves cut in half lengthwise. We tweak it to our tastes as we decide what to put on it. Going to going to add some bacon and French fried onions with some BBQ sauce on one of them.

      ………..is it just me or is there no where in this recipe where it tells you what to do with the tomato sauce???

        My apologies, Milton. I incorporated 2 recipes into one and was not clear. As I said in the post, I do a bunch with the 1000 island sauce, but I also do the tomato sauce for anyone who wants that, instead. Some people like one, others like the other. I usually have extra of the tomato sauce in the freezer, so that I can pull it out when needed. I will correct this right now. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!! I really appreciate it!!
