2 beef burger patties (¼ lb each)

2 slices mozzarella or provolone cheese
4 slices cooked bacon
15–20 mini pepperoni slices

Dried oregano or Italian seasoning, to taste
1 burger bun (toasted)
French fries (frozen or homemade), cooked
Optional: ketchup for inside or serving

Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

Skillet or grill pan
Small saucepan
Spatula

Baking sheet or air fryer (for the fries)
Knife and cutting board (if making fries from scratch)

Add-Ins and Substitutions

I promised you versatile, and here’s proof!

Cheese: Try shredded mozzarella, smoked gouda, or even spicy pepper jack for a kick.
Bacon: Turkey bacon or plant-based bacon both work well here.
Pepperoni: Swap with spicy salami, Canadian bacon, or keep it veggie with mushrooms.
Pizza Sauce: Marinara or even a garlicky Alfredo can shake things up.
Burger Patties: Go for plant-based or turkey patties for a lighter spin.
Buns: Pretzel buns, brioche rolls, or ciabatta—go wild!

How to Make a Pizza Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries

Let’s break this down step-by-step so you can build it just right.

1. Cook the Burger Patties

Season each patty with salt and pepper.
Cook in a skillet or grill over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side (or until they reach your desired doneness).
In the last minute of cooking, add one slice of mozzarella or provolone to each patty and cover briefly to melt.

2. Prepare the Pizza Topping

In a small saucepan, warm the pizza sauce over low heat.
Add a pinch of dried oregano or Italian seasoning.
Toss in mini pepperoni and let them warm through until slightly crispy on the edges.

3. Toast the Bun

Optional, but I highly recommend it. Just a minute or two in a pan or toaster for that extra crunch!

4. Assemble the Burger

Start with the bottom bun.
Add a layer of fries.
Place the first cheese-covered burger patty.
Add 2 slices of bacon.
Place the second patty.
Spoon over the warm pizza sauce and pepperoni.
Add a few extra fries inside for crunch.
Cap it with the top bun and press gently.

Serve with ketchup or extra sauce on the side—if you can stop long enough to dip!

What to Serve with This Burger

This burger is the meal, but if you want to round it out:

Extra fries with garlic aioli or spicy mayo
Crisp coleslaw for a cool crunch
Pickle spears or jalapeño slices on the side
Mozzarella sticks—because why not?
A cold soda or root beer float to wash it all down

Tips for the Best Pizza Bacon Cheeseburger

Don’t overcook the patties—aim for medium or medium-well for best juiciness.
Use quality buns—a good bun makes all the difference in texture.
Preheat your pan so the patties sear and caramelize quickly.
Warm the sauce so it melts seamlessly over the hot patties.
Layer wisely—fries on the bottom give the best structure and crunch!

Storage Instructions

Let’s be honest—this is best devoured fresh! But if you have leftovers:

Fridge: Store assembled burger (without fries) in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Reheat: Reheat the patties and sauce separately to keep things from getting soggy. Re-toast the bun for freshness.
Fries: Best re-crisped in an air fryer or hot oven.
