Best Ways to Enjoy It
This stuffed pizza is a complete meal on its own, but pairing it with a fresh side salad or crispy potato wedges can elevate your dining experience. For an extra touch, serve it with homemade ranch dressing or a zesty dipping sauce to complement those cheeseburger flavors.
Storage and Reheating Tips
To keep any leftovers fresh, store your uneaten slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, you can pop the slices in the oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until heated through, to maintain that delightful crust. If you need to save it for longer, you can freeze the stuffed pizza before baking. Just wrap it tightly and store it in the freezer for up to two months!
Helpful Cooking Tips
- To save time, feel free to use leftover roasted meat or shredded chicken instead of cooking fresh ground beef.
- If you want to reduce calories, consider using lean ground turkey instead of beef.
- For even cheesier goodness, sprinkle a little extra cheese on top of the pizza sauce before adding the veggies.
Creative Twists
Don’t hesitate to mix things up! You can incorporate jalapeños for a spicy kick, swap in turkey bacon for a lighter version, or use a gluten-free pizza crust if you have dietary restrictions. Experiment with various toppings like sautéed bell peppers or even a sprinkle of BBQ sauce for a tangy twist!
