To make this awesome cheeseburger pizza, preheat your oven to 450°F and make the mushroom mixture as described in the directions below and then cook with the ground beef until the mixture is browned. Then roll out the prepared pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Once rolled out to an 18 x 12-inch rectangle, transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Combine ⅓ cup tomato sauce with ⅓ cup barbecue sauce and spread over the dough. Sprinkle 12 ounces of shredded Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar over the sauce and top with the mushroom and ground beef mixture, 1 plum tomato (seeded and diced), and ½ of a small red onion (thinly sliced).

Bake the cheeseburger pizza until golden, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle ½ cup shredded lettuce over the pizza. Stir ¼ cup light mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons yellow mustard together and drizzle over pizza (Note: To get an even drizzle, place the mayonnaise and mustard mixture into a re-sealable plastic bag and snip off a small portion in the corner to pipe onto pizza). Cut into appropriate portions, serve, and enjoy every bite.
