Instructions
Prepare the Beef Patties
In a large bowl, combine:
Ground beef
Eggs
Breadcrumbs (if using)
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder
Mix gently (don’t overwork).
Divide into 2 large equal portions and shape into two round patties slightly larger than your pizza crust (they shrink while cooking).
Cook patties in a large skillet or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes until cooked through. Drain excess grease.
Prepare the Crust Base
Pre-bake both pizza crusts at 400°F (200°C) for 5–7 minutes to firm them up.

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
