Family Friendly Cheeseburger Pizza

By

Pizza or cheeseburgers for dinner tonight? Make them both!

Cheeseburger pizza is ready in less than 30 minutes.

Just grab the skillet and brown the ground beef, unwrap the ready-to-use pizza crust, open the bag of shredded cheese, chop the onion and you’re minutes away from a kid-friendly, family-friendly meal that makes everyone happy.

Of course as a registered dietitian nutritionist, I’m thrilled this easy pizza contains 4 of the 5 nutrient-rich food groups: grains (crust), vegetables (onions & tomatoes), dairy (cheese) and protein (ground beef).

Fruit is the only group missing, so serve Cheeseburger Pizza with my fast and easy side salad with mandarin oranges. Chopped romaine and/or mixed salad greens, sliced red onion, canned mandarin oranges and Kalamata olives…all drizzled with your favorite Italian vinaigrette.

Dinner. Done. In a flash. Filled with all the right nutrients to keep everyone healthy, from toddlers and teens, mom and dad to grandparents.
