Description
This Pizza Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries is the ultimate comfort food mash-up — juicy beef patties layered with melted cheese, crispy bacon, pizza sauce, and pepperoni, all tucked into a toasted bun. Serve with golden fries on the side (or stuffed inside!) for the kind of meal that turns an ordinary dinner into an unforgettable one.
Ingredients
2 beef burger patties
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 slices mozzarella or provolone cheese
4 slices cooked bacon
1/4 cup pizza sauce
15–20 mini pepperoni slices
Dried oregano or Italian seasoning
1 burger bun, toasted
French fries, as much as desired
Ketchup (optional, for fries)
Instructions
Cook the Burger Patties – Season patties with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry over medium-high heat until cooked to your liking, about 3–4 minutes per side for medium. In the last minute, top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover to melt.
Toast the Bun & Cook Fries – Lightly toast the burger bun. Bake or air fry the fries until golden and crispy.
Assemble the Burger – Place one cheesy patty on the bottom bun. Add two slices of bacon. Stack the second cheesy patty on top and add remaining bacon.
Add Pizza Toppings – Spoon pizza sauce over the top patty. Sprinkle with oregano or Italian seasoning. Arrange mini pepperoni slices on top.
Finish & Serve – Serve with fries on the side (with ketchup) or tuck fries into the burger for extra fun. Top with the bun and enjoy right away.
Notes
Swap mozzarella for cheddar, pepper jack, or gouda for a different flavor.
Plant-based patties work just as well for a vegetarian twist (skip the bacon or use veggie bacon).
Warm pizza sauce before topping so the burger stays hot.
Sweet potato fries or onion rings make great swaps for the fries.
For extra crunch, place bacon between patties instead of on top.
