Where Pizza Meets Burger in the Most Delicious Way
Sometimes, you can’t decide between pizza or burgers—and with this recipe, you don’t have to. Introducing the Ultimate Double Cheeseburger Pizza Stack: layers of savory seasoned beef patties, melted cheese, and pizza goodness stacked into one glorious, over-the-top comfort meal. It’s everything you love about both dishes combined into a single, show-stopping stack.

🤩 Why This Recipe Works
This isn’t your average burger night or pizza night—this is an experience. Each layer brings something to the table:
Ground beef patties act as the “crust” and main protein.
Melted cheese in every bite delivers that irresistible gooey pull.
Sauces and seasonings evoke the flavor of both burgers and pizza.
Pizza toppings like pickles, onions, and tomato slices bring freshness and crunch.
Stacked presentation makes it both fun to serve and utterly satisfying.
Whether you’re a meat lover or just love fusion recipes that are loaded with flavor, this will quickly become a go-to favorite.
🛒 Ingredients
For the Beef Patties:
4 lbs ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for binding and extra texture)
2 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
For the Layers:
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup mustard
1/2 cup dill pickles, sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
2 tomatoes, sliced
Optional: bacon bits, jalapeños, or sautéed mushrooms
👩🍳 How To Make the Ultimate Pizza Stack
1. Prepare the Beef Patty “Bases”
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the eggs, breadcrumbs (if using), and all seasonings. Mix until just combined—don’t overwork it or the patties will be tough.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions, then shape into large, round, flat patties approximately the size of a pizza crust (8–10 inches wide). You want them even in thickness to cook uniformly.
🔥 Tip: Use parchment paper or plastic wrap between your hands and the meat for easier shaping.
2. Cook the Patties
Heat a large non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook each beef patty individually for about 5–7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and browned. Drain excess fat.
🔄 Alternative: You can also bake the patties on a foil-lined sheet at 375°F (190°C) for about 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Set cooked patties aside on a wire rack or paper towels to drain.
3. Build the Stack
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a baking sheet or oven-safe tray:
Place one cooked beef patty as the bottom “pizza crust.”
Spread a light layer of ketchup and mustard on top.
Sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Add pickles, onion slices, and tomato if desired.
Place another beef patty on top and repeat the layers.
Continue stacking all 4 beef patties with sauce, cheese, and toppings in between. On the very top, add a generous amount of cheese and your favorite final toppings like bacon, jalapeños, or extra pickles.
4. Bake Until Melty
Place the entire stack in the preheated oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
⏲️ Optional: Broil the top for 1–2 minutes for extra golden, gooey cheese.
5. Slice and Serve
Let the stack rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Use a large sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice like a cake or pie. Serve with extra ketchup, ranch, or burger sauce on the side.
🧠 Tips & Variations
✅ Make It Spicy – Add hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the sauce layers. Top with jalapeños or pepper jack cheese.
✅ Add Veggies – Want to sneak in some nutrition? Add thin layers of spinach, sautéed mushrooms, or even grilled bell peppers between layers.
✅ Use a Pizza Stone – For the ultimate “grilled” finish and even heat distribution.
✅ Go Low-Carb – Skip the breadcrumbs and use crushed pork rinds for binding. This recipe is inherently low in carbs with no actual bread or crust.
🧀 What To Serve With It
This meal is hearty and rich, so balance it with something refreshing:
Crisp coleslaw or a tangy cucumber salad
Roasted sweet potato fries
Garlic roasted green beans
Pickled vegetables or relish tray
And don’t forget a frosty drink—this stacks perfectly with a cold root beer, lemonade, or even a craft beer.
