Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F.

In a medium skillet over medium-high, heat a little oil. Add beef, onion and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes or until meat is browned, stirring to crumble. Pour off excess grease. Stir in ketchup, mustard, seasoned salt and Worcestershire. Cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Stretch dough into a large oval on an ungreased sheet pan. Drizzle with a little oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Combine cheeses; set aside 1–2 Tbsp for garnish. Sprinkle two-thirds of remaining cheese mixture over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with meat mixture and remaining cheese mixture. Brush edges of dough with oil; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake 15–17 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden.

Step 3

If desired, drizzle with a little ketchup and mustard. Top with lettuce and tomatoes. Sprinkle with pickles, reserved cheese mixture, bacon and green onions.
