Ground Beef Alfredo Pizza (Printable Version)

A rich pizza featuring creamy Alfredo sauce, seasoned beef, and melted mozzarella for a hearty meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pizza Dough

01 - 1 pound pizza dough, store-bought or homemade

→ Ground Beef Mixture

02 - 8 ounces ground beef
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

→ Alfredo Sauce

07 - 3/4 cup heavy cream
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
09 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
10 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
11 - Salt and pepper, to taste

→ Toppings

12 - 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
13 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
14 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Set the oven to 475°F and place a pizza stone inside if using, allowing it to heat thoroughly.
02 - In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano until fully cooked, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.
03 - Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Incorporate grated Parmesan and nutmeg, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and the cheese melts, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
04 - On a lightly floured surface, roll pizza dough into a 12-inch diameter circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel if using a stone.
05 - Spread Alfredo sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef atop the sauce.
06 - Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the beef, then top with additional grated Parmesan cheese.
07 - Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly with slight browning.
08 - Remove pizza from oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, slice, and serve immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent hours making it, but comes together in under 45 minutes.
  • The creamy Alfredo sauce balanced against the savory beef creates a comfort-food depth that feels almost fancy.
  • It's endlessly forgiving—your oven temperature doesn't have to be perfect, your dough doesn't have to be a flawless circle, and somehow it still turns out delicious.
02 -
  • If your Alfredo breaks or becomes grainy, it usually means the heat was too high—low and slow is the only way with cream and cheese.
  • Don't skip draining the ground beef; excess fat will pool under the toppings and make your pizza soggy instead of crispy.
03 -
  • Let your pizza dough come to room temperature before stretching—cold dough fights back and won't spread evenly.
  • Make your Alfredo sauce right before you top the pizza so it doesn't cool and thicken too much before baking.
