Homemade Sloppy Joe Pizza
This fun mashup combines the nostalgic flavors of a classic sloppy joe with the cheesy goodness of a fresh pizza.
recipesbynani.comIf your family cannot decide between pizza night and sloppy joes, this recipe is your perfect solution. It takes that savory, slightly sweet meat mixture we all grew up with and puts it on a crisp pizza crust for a meal that everyone gets excited about.
My best tip for this recipe is to make sure you let your sloppy joe mixture simmer until it is quite thick. You do not want a runny sauce because it can make the pizza crust soggy in the middle.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pre baked pizza crust or prepared pizza dough
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons melted butter mixed with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2
Brown the ground beef and onions in a large skillet over medium heat until the meat is cooked through and the onions are soft. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
- 3
Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened nicely.
- 4
Brush your pizza crust lightly with the garlic butter mixture.
- 5
Spread the meat mixture evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
- 6
Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the top of the meat.
- 7
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- 8
Let the pizza sit for 2 minutes before slicing so the toppings stay in place.
💡 Tips
This pizza tastes wonderful with a side of crispy pickles or a fresh green salad. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat them in a toaster oven to keep the crust nice and crispy.
