  • cup ketchup

  • 2 tablespoon yellow mustard

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz.)

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (2 oz.)

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • ½ cup dill pickle slices

  • 4 slices bacon, crisp-cooked and crumbled

Food Processor Pizza Dough

  • Olive oil or nonstick cooking spray

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 package active dry yeast

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet cook ground beef over medium-high heat until brown. Drain off fat. Stir in salt and black pepper. Remove mixture from skillet. Cool skillet slightly; wipe out and brush with oil.

  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll Food Processor Pizza Dough into a 14-inch circle. Transfer to prepared skillet and roll down excess dough to form edge of crust. Spread dough with ketchup and mustard. Top with meat mixture and sprinkle with half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Top with onion, pickles, and bacon; sprinkle with remaining cheeses.

  3. Cook pizza over medium-high heat 3 minutes. Transfer to oven and bake 18 to 20 minutes or until crust and cheeses are light brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Food Processor Pizza Dough

  1. Coat a medium bowl with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a food processor combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. With the food processor running, add olive oil and warm water. Process until a dough forms. Remove and shape into a smooth ball. Place dough in the prepared bowl; turn once to coat dough surface. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let stand in a warm place until doubled in size (45 to 60 minutes).

*Make-Ahead Directions:

At this point, the dough portions can be placed in a storage container that has been lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray or brushed with olive oil. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Or place each dough portion in a freezer bag that has been lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray or brushed with olive oil. Seal, label, and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before using.
