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.
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.

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.
That sounds great Ken! That’s what’s fun about recipes. They give you an idea and you run with it! Thanks for commenting!
Bacon and Cheeseburger on pizza sounds so good. It looks delicious too.
Thanks so much Andrea! Have a nice weekend!
Bacon cheeseburger pizza is the absolute bomb. My children loved this recipe and so did the hubby. Pinning for later.

Thanks Stephanie! I’m so glad you like it!
Such a winning recipe!!! I made this last night, and everyone went nuts. Making again for Super Bowl Sunday!
Oh, great! So glad you all loved it! Thanks for letting me know Ashley!
………..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!!
Very creative pizza !!! Yumm
