Cheeseburger Stromboli or Stuffed Pizza Cheeseburger?
Sometimes it’s hard to give a name to a recipe that makes perfect sense.
Perhaps it’s easiest to explain what these are. We’re stuffing a burger patty and all of our favorite burger toppings into a round of pizza dough, wrapping it up and baking.
It’s like two of my favorite foods combined – pizza & cheeseburgers!
Ingredients
You’ll need one pound of ground beef. I’ve included a simple (but flavorful) burger recipe.
Cheese. Use your favorite cheese – sliced & shredded both work well.
Condiments. Ketchup, mustard, pickles, onions….use what you love! What’s great is that these are individual burgers, so everyone can have their Cheeseburger Stromboli their way.
I serve some condiments & toppings on the side. Lettuce, sliced tomatoes, mayo – toppings that people might not like oven baked. You can dip, spread, stuff or top before serving or while eating.
Speaking of condiments – I love them homemade! Check out these recipes to get you started : Homemade Big Mac Sauce, Avocado Oil Mayonnaise & Homemade Whole Grain Dijon Mustard !
Onto pizza dough.
You can make or buy pizza dough. Do what works for you. You’ll find it at most grocery stores or you can usually grab a chunk from your local pizzeria. That being said – it’s unbelievably simple, cheap & quick to make pizza dough yourself. I made these Cheeseburger Stromboli with both store bought & homemade pizza dough in one weeks time – I’m not sure anyone could tell the difference.
Instructions
Here’s what we’re doing….
Layer cheese, ketchup, mustard, pickles, onions & a burger patty in the center of the pizza dough. Carefully wrap & pinch the dough to cover. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder, parmesan & parsley. Bake till golden brown. Pretty simple, right?
As for the burgers – they’re best homemade. Not only are they tastier & juicier – you can also size the patty to your liking. I try to make them about 2 1/2″ round so I can get everything easily wrapped up in the dough.
This is a fun, delicious & different way to enjoy eating burgers. You can turn making dinner into a family fun night and let everyone make their own!
Hope you enjoy!

Cheeseburger Stromboli
Ingredients
- For Burger Patty:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Tomato Ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onions
- pinch of salt pepper & smoked paprika
- For Cheeseburger Stromboli:
- 1 pound pizza dough if refrigerated let sit out at room temp for about 20 minutes before using
- 6 cooked burger patties
- 6 slices of your favorite cheese folded into fourths OR approx 1 cup shredded cheese / 2-3 tablespoons each burger
- Tomato Ketchup
- Mustard
- pickle chips/slices
- onions optional
- 2 tablespoon butter melted
- a pinch of garlic powder Parmesan cheese & dried parsley
- flour for dusting
Instructions
- For Burgers:
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Roll beef mixture into 6 even size balls.
- Pat/shape into patties, about 2 1/2″ round.
- Cook burgers your preferred method and to just below your preferred temp. I cooked mine on a cast iron skillet to about medium rare – they will continue to cook when in oven.
- Let cool down a little before assembling pizza burger.
- To assemble Cheeseburger Stromboli:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Dust a nonstick cookie sheet with a bit of cornmeal or flour.
- On a floured surface, cut pizza dough into 6 even portions. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Shape dough into rounds, just about double the size of the burger. Make sure the dough rounds are of even thickness – you don’t want the centers too thin. If the dough is springing back too much, let it rest at room temp for a few more minutes. If dough is too sticky, dust hands with flour.
- Place cheese (slices or 2-3 tablespoon shredded) in center of dough. Squirt ketchup & mustard on cheese. Place a few pickle or onion slices on next. Finish with burger.
- Carefully fold, pinch and pull dough to cover burger and sides. Make sure dough is covering all areas.
- Place dough wrapped burger on cookie sheet, seam side down.
- Repeat with remainder of ingredients.
- Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder, parmesan cheese and parsley.
- Bake for 14 – 18 minutes until tops are light golden brown.
- Let burgers rest for a few minutes, serve & enjoy.
Notes
Pizza Dough
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon instant dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water 105°-110°F
- 2 cup flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- I use a stand mixer for this recipe, but you can just as easily do this by hand.
- Dissolve yeast in warm water. I combine the two in my stand mixer and mix with dough hook until dissolved.
- Add in flour, salt and sugar. Using mixer & dough hook knead for about 5 minutes. Dough should be smooth and elastic and not overly sticky. If kneading by hand – knead dough for about 5-8 minutes.
- Place dough in a large greased bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm, draft free spot for about an hour and a half. The dough should almost double in size.
- Use immediately or refrigerate until needed.
