*Sigh* Vegan bacon cheeseburger pizza. As a boy growing up there were three things I loved: music, American football and bacon cheeseburger pizza from a joint known as Godfather’s Pizza. In this recipe I wanted to make my favorite kind of pizza on my favorite style of pizza crust: stuffed crust! To make this pizza vegan and gluten free was a nice treat for me. Here is how it’s done:

First you will need to prepare a few things before getting started:

• Vegan Eggplant Bacon (click here for the recipe)
• Vegan Ground Beef (click here for the recipe)
• Vegan Pizza Sauce (click here for the recipe)

Finally, choose a crust:

• We used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust (click here for product review and instructions) (click here to order in Europe or click here to order in North America)
• Or, you could choose a traditional easy gluten free pizza crust (click here for recipe)
• Or, go with a deep dish style crust (click here for recipe).

Optional ingredients:

• Diced white onions
• Sliced pickles

Steps:

1. Prepare your ingredients, pre-bake your crust and add the pizza sauce.
2. Add the optional diced onions if you would like.
3. Add shredded or grated white vegan cheese for pizza that melts and stretches. If you have a vegan Mozzarella that would be perfect.
4. Add the vegan ground beef.
5. Top it all off with some more shredded vegan cheddar cheese.
6. If you went the stuffed crust route like we did, you can add both kinds of vegan cheeses in the stuffed crust as well. We did and it was amazing!
7. Bake the pizza according to the instructions for your crust of choice.
8. Remove from the oven and top with the eggplant bacon (made into bacon bits by crumbling with your hands) and the optional pickle slices if you desire.
9. Slice and enjoy!
