How to Make It

Alright, so here’s the lowdown. You throw your skillet on the stove — don’t let it scare you, it just sizzles a little. Brown up that ground beef with some onions, and oh, the whole place just smells inviting. Then, strategically add your cheese because, well, cheese is life. Chuck in your favorite pizza toppings — whatever’s in the fridge is fair game. Let it all hang out in the skillet until melty and bubbly. Just keep stirring like you’re casting a delicious spell. Voila! Dinner served, with only a little sweat and a lot of love.

Ingredient Notes

– Ground Beef: Look, no one will tattle if it’s not organic, okay? Just brown it up nice and you’re golden.
– Cheese: Cheddar is your bestie here, but if you love a good cheese rainbow, go nuts.
– Onions: They bring everything together. But skip them if you have kiddos who act like they’re eating aliens.

2. Sprinkle in your choice of cheese and let it melt all dreamy-like.
3. Add in your beloved pizza toppings.
4. Let it simmer until everything is nicely combined and bubbly.

Tips & Mistakes

Storage Tips

First off, good luck having leftovers. But if there’s extra, toss it in an airtight container — the fridge is its new home. It’s surprisingly tasty cold (no judgment here), or zap it in the microwave until hot. And yes, it makes for a pretty rad breakfast. Don’t ask why, just trust.

Variations and Substitutions

Alright, so let’s say your cupboard is looking a bit like Old Mother Hubbard’s. You can swap out things with wild abandon — turkey instead of ground beef, cheddar for mozzarella, throw pineapple on there (no debates please!) — if that’s your jam. Heck, once, I tried it with tortilla chips crumbled on top, and it was, well, an experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

I can’t have gluten… will this still work?

Totally. Just switch the soy sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. I’ve done it more times than I can count. Still tastes bomb.

Do I have to peel the pineapple first? Asking for a friend.

Yeah… definitely peel it. Unless you’re into chewing bark. It’s not fun, trust me.

Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh?

Been there, done that. Just drain it like your life depends on it. Still good, just not *as* wow.

How sweet is this? Can I tone it down a bit?

You totally can. Cut the sugar a little or swap in honey or maple syrup. I’ve done both when I ran out of brown sugar.

What if I skip the sesame oil?

Honestly? It’s fine. You’ll lose that toasted vibe, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Still delicious.
