#KetchupsNewMustard #CollectiveBias
For me, I know that winter is officially over whenever we bring our grill out from the garage. It is one of my favorite times of the year and I always love thinking up new ways to use our grill.We are not the type of people who just grill different meats. We are the shove everything we possibly can onto the grill type of people. If we are firing up the grill, I like to keep all the meal components out there together to make life easier.
We love grilling veggies, fruit, potatoes, and corn on the cob, but I think our absolute favorite is grilled pizza. It has the taste of brick oven pizza and just tastes so much better than pizza done in the oven. The crust gets unbelievably crispy and there is a slight hint of smokiness from the grill. I am always try to come up with new grilled pizza recipes.We have tried and enjoyed all different types, but we have really found a winner this time with this Bacon Cheeseburger Grilled Pizza.
A crucial element of this pizza is the replacement of pizza sauce with ketchup and mustard, because what’s a cheeseburger without those two condiments!? Having grown up in Western Pa and having gone to college in Pittsburgh, I am a Heinz girl through and through. I truly cannot eat any ketchup other than Heinz, all the other brands just don’t taste as good! When I heard that Walmart is now carrying New Heinz® Yellow Mustard in a squeeze bottle, I knew I had to get it because I have a serious thing for mustard.
Mustard has a funny history in our house. Neither my husband nor I liked it at all our entire lives, until we went on our honeymoon. We stayed at a fabulous 5 star resort that served gourmet burgers on the beach everyday at lunch time. The burgers were fantastic, but were made even better by the addition of mustard. Since we weren’t really mustard fans, we didn’t think we would like them, but after the first day, we were hooked and suddenly became mustard’s biggest fans! I now buy so much mustard and insist on having every flavor imaginable, so we have an entire fridge shelf dedicated to it!
So how does my new Heinz Yellow Mustard compare to our big shelf of mustard? Just as I expected from a Heinz product, it tastes great! I hate when mustard is too strong and this one has a great mix of vinegar and spices to make it tangy and flavorful, but not overpowering. I especially love that the first squirt out of the bottle is not a watery mess either and doesn’t make this crust soggy at all! It is definitely the perfect topping for this pizza!
I used mini pizza crusts in this recipe because I find them easier to work with on the grill. If you are doing a full sized pizza, the amounts listed in the recipe should still work because I made two mini pizzas and still had leftover filling. Both the beef and the bacon need to be cooked on the stove top, but can be done ahead of time so that when dinner rolls around, you can just throw everything together and be ready!

This looks good! My hubby and I love to order dominos bacon cheeseburger pizza… But it’s so pricy! This looks like a great alternative! I love your story of how you and your hubby fell in love with mustard on your honeymoon… Unfortunitally I am still on the never liked mustard in my whole life side of the equation… So I’ll propbally leave that off! Great recipe though! Can’t wait to try it!
Just leave it off and add some more ketchup!! I have never had Dominos version, but I bet it is cheesy and delicious!
Can you believe I’ve never grilled a pizza? I’m going to have to start after seeing how you used mustard so creatively! YUM! #client
You must immediately! I was so looking forward to the leftovers today! The crust stays crispy even after reheating in the microwave!
One of my son’s favorite pizzas at the local pizza buffet is cheeseburger pizza. I have to give this a try. I think he’ll love it!
Yumm! A pizza buffet sounds like Heaven to me!!
WOW! What an amazing idea! I love grilling, it is the best way to eat food and spend time! I have recently heard of a lot of new things to grill however pizza was not one of them! I think it tastes great and I cannot believe I have not thought of this idea before! I cannot wait to try! Thanks for sharing such a great thing!
We have been grilling pizza for a few years but I don’t know why it took me so long to combine pizza and my favorite grilled food, cheeseburgers!
I love pizza! I’ve never tried a cheeseburger pizza, though. These look and sound delicious! I think once all this rain stops we need to fire up the grill!
This is the best of both the cheeseburger and pizza worlds! I hope you try it!
Oh this looks fab!! What a combination, now I don’t have to decide between bacon cheeseburgers or pizza, I can have both! Pinned!! 🙂
Thanks Annie!! This is definitely the best parts of both meals!!
And thank you for pinning!!
I love grilled pizza! What a great idea for toppings.
You know, I’ve never had pizza on the grill but I can’t wait to try it!!! It sounds AMAZING!!!
Thanks Kassi!!
This looks delicious! I love the idea of bbq’n pizza. I am a vegetarian so I would have to modify it for me but I know my husband would love this too. I think I am definitely going to have to add it to our bbq list. 🙂
Maybe you could do black beans instead? I love substituting those for ground beef in recipes!
I love pizza and burgers. This combo is perfect for me!
