Mum’s McDonald’s-Inspired Pizza

If you were to ever ask my mum what her guilty pleasures were, I’m pretty sure the rare treat of a McDonald’s would be high up on that list! Unfortunately for her though, no one else in the family eats them and so when she does tuck into one of her three-times-a-year burgers, it’s usually quite a solitary affair for her… So, this pizza is dedicated to Chef #2, my amazing mum so at least for once, we can all indulge together!

Ingredients:

170g minced beef
400g can of chopped tomatoes
1 red onion
1 beef tomato
100g cheddar cheese
Slices of pickled gherkin

Method:
  1. Whilst the bases are in the oven proving, the topping can be prepared.
  2.  Start off by slicing the red onion and frying it in a sauce pan with the mince. Then add the can of chopped tomato and allow to simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  3. When the bases have finished proving and you’ve taken them out, turn the oven to 210°C.
  4. Spread the beef and tomato sauce evenly over the two bases.
  5. Next, slice the beef tomato and place on top of the sauce in a neat pattern of your choosing.
  6. Sprinkle over the grated cheese and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. In my opinion, you can’t have a burger at McDonald’s without the gherkin so add the slices at the end as a sort of garnish... Or, if you’re like my mum and just pick them out anyway, skip this step entirely!
  7. Buon appetito!
