How to Make a Pizza Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries
Let’s break this down step-by-step so you can build it just right.
1. Cook the Burger Patties
Season each patty with salt and pepper.
Cook in a skillet or grill over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side (or until they reach your desired doneness).
In the last minute of cooking, add one slice of mozzarella or provolone to each patty and cover briefly to melt.
2. Prepare the Pizza Topping
In a small saucepan, warm the pizza sauce over low heat.
Add a pinch of dried oregano or Italian seasoning.
Toss in mini pepperoni and let them warm through until slightly crispy on the edges.
3. Toast the Bun
Optional, but I highly recommend it. Just a minute or two in a pan or toaster for that extra crunch!
4. Assemble the Burger
Start with the bottom bun.
Add a layer of fries.
Place the first cheese-covered burger patty.
Add 2 slices of bacon.
Place the second patty.
Spoon over the warm pizza sauce and pepperoni.
Add a few extra fries inside for crunch.
Cap it with the top bun and press gently.
Serve with ketchup or extra sauce on the side—if you can stop long enough to dip!
What to Serve with This Burger
This burger is the meal, but if you want to round it out:
Extra fries with garlic aioli or spicy mayo
Crisp coleslaw for a cool crunch
Pickle spears or jalapeño slices on the side
Mozzarella sticks—because why not?
A cold soda or root beer float to wash it all down
Tips for the Best Pizza Bacon Cheeseburger
- Don’t overcook the patties—aim for medium or medium-well for best juiciness.
- Use quality buns—a good bun makes all the difference in texture.
- Preheat your pan so the patties sear and caramelize quickly.
- Warm the sauce so it melts seamlessly over the hot patties.
- Layer wisely—fries on the bottom give the best structure and crunch!
