This has never been a pizza that has scared me away. I love the classic cheeseburger and we know everyone loves pizza. Why not combine the two loves into one. I realize that there are many people who cannot imagine a cheeseburger pizza, which is foolish to me. Putting ground beef should not seem odd to anyone, it is another meat.
Just like every other pizza in the world, you can add the toppings that you prefer on this pizza. Personally, I love making a cheeseburger with the usual toppings such as bacon, tomatoes, pickles and onions. I bet if those doubters would try, they would likely fall in love with this pizza also.
