What’s The Difference Between Pizza And Pizza Burger Pie?

A pizza is a traditional Italian dish with a round, flat base of dough topped with various ingredients that add an authentic Italian flavor. It is typically baked in an oven.

On the other hand, one of the best things about a pizza burger pie is that it is a hybrid dish that combines elements of both pizza and burgers. It typically consists of a burger patty or ground beef pizza, pizza toppings such as cheese and tomato sauce, and sometimes additional ingredients like onions, peppers, or mushrooms.

The burger patty is often placed between two layers of pizza dough or a pizza crust, creating a pie-like structure.

How to Make Pizza Burger Pie

Step 1: Cook Ground beef or pork

Take 1 pound of ground beef or pork and put it on a cast-iron grill pan. You can prepare ground beef or pork by blending them with spices. Spread the ground meat all over the pan. Then add some vegetable shortening.

Cook and fry the ground meat until it turns brown. You can add some extra spices, like Italian seasoning, ground coriander, pepper, etc. while cooking. After cooking, store them for later use.

Step 2: Prepare The Batter For The Pizza Burger Pie

Pour two large beaten eggs into a cooking pot. Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of milk, and 1/2 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Mix the batter using a beater or a hand mixer. It may take some time to mix the whole batter coherently.

Step 3: Prepare Tomato Pizza Sauce

Roast 2 to 3 large, ripe tomatoes using a frying pan or oven. Also, roast garlic cloves in the same way. Then blend the roasted tomatoes and garlic cloves along with 1/2 cup of chopped onion, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.

Blend for a while, and you will get the smooth pulp of tomato sauce. Preserve it for this recipe and later use.

Step 4: Get Other Ingredients Ready for Cooking

After preparing the batter, pizza sauce, and fried ground beef, get the other ingredients ready for cooking. Chop the onion; slice and wash the mushrooms, bacon, and pepperoni. Ensure that every ingredient is properly washed and fresh. 

Step 5: Place All The Ingredients Into The Cooking Pan

Take the same cooking pan where you fried the ground beef or pork. Pour half of the pizza burger batter first. Then place all the ground, cooked beef on the batter. Sequentially place and spread 6 to 7 mushrooms, 1 cup of chopped capsicum, 2 cups of tomato pizza sauce, and chopped onion.

Again, pour half of the batter and gradually spread it all over the pan. Then place some mushrooms again. Add shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese, 10 to 12 pepperoni and sausage, and 6 to 7 slices of bacon. Finally, garnish the whole dish with a sufficient amount of Italian seasoning and ground black pepper.

Step 6: Cook Pizza Burger Pie

For this step, I use the Gourmet Griller, which works best. Preheat the grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Then place the grill pan on the wire rack of the griller. Wait for 10 minutes.

Check if your pizza burger pie is fully cooked. Then remove the pan from the grill.

Step 7: Cut, Serve, and Enjoy

Now your mouth-watering pizza burger pie is fully ready. Before enjoying, garnish the dish with some oregano, basil leaves, and chili flakes. Cut the pizza burger into pieces. Serve and enjoy this delicious fusion dish.

Special Tips for My Pizza Burger Pie Recipe

This section is for you if you care about making the dish best, like the great fusion of pizza and burger. I have added some special tips for you.

• Ensure that your ground beef or pork doesn’t contain more fat than 7 percent. Otherwise, it will make pizza burgers taste bad and unhealthy too.
• Use full-ripe and fresh tomatoes for the pizza sauce. Consider roasting properly. The roasted aroma enhances the actual flavor.
• Add several layers of batter and ground beef. It has the texture of a hamburger.
• You can add different types of cheese instead of using only mozzarella. Also, cheddar cheese works so well for pizza and hamburger pie.

How to Make Pizza Burger Pie Healthy and Diet-Friendly

As you can see in the recipe, I have used a good amount of flour, cheese, and meat. These ingredients are obviously harmful to your health to a certain extent. But it’s really difficult for me to miss one of my favorite dishes, pizza burger pie. So, we can find ways to make this sizzling dish healthy and diet-friendly.

1. Use Whole-grain Crust Or Make it Keto-friendly

The best way to use whole grain flour or even make pizza without flour It’s very easy to make pizza burger pie without flour. Here, you can use coconut flour as a substitute, which is very diet-friendly. Also, you can use only eggs and cheese to make the base of the pizza burger pie.

2. Add Ground Chicken Instead Of Beef And Pork

Beef contains a high amount of high-cholesterol fat. So, it’s better to use chicken or light meat instead of red meat. Also, load the pizza burger with different types of vegetables and filling. Add your favorite vegetables and herbs to make it both tasty and healthy.

3. Low Sodium and Cheese

Try to add cheese as little as possible because it contains high fat and sodium. You can use some light cheese, like low-fat mozzarella or reduced-fat cheddar cheese, as a healthier option for comfort food. Also, control the portion size and amount of cheese.

4. Add Vegetables and Side Salads

If you take pizza burger pie as a dinner or lunch meal, you can have healthy salads and steamed vegetables with it. It will balance the portions of vegetables and proteins. Also, use extra virgin olive oil to prepare the pizza burger pie. It will enhance the taste buds and reduce the chance of heart failure or other diseases.

It is better to prepare tomato sauce and other ingredients at home as much as possible to be fresh and healthy. Consider buying fresh ingredients and washing them properly with fresh, cool water.
