Here's how we're going to pile up this culinary masterpiece:

Ingredients:

• Pizza Dough: We'll use a pre-made dough or your favorite homemade recipe as the base.
• Ground Beef: Seasoned with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder, then browned.
• Home Fries: Diced potatoes, seasoned, and roasted until golden.
• Macaroni Salad: A creamy, tangy macaroni salad to add a unique layer of flavor.
• Mozzarella Cheese: For that melty, cheesy goodness.
• Cheddar Cheese: Adds a sharp, rich flavor.
• Pizza Sauce: A hearty layer to spread over the dough.
• Mustard and Ketchup Drizzle: The classic garbage plate condiment duo, but in a pizza-friendly format.
• Optional Toppings: Pickles, diced onions, or jalapeños for an extra kick.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pizza Dough: Stretch out the dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet, forming a nice, thick base. Preheat your oven as per the dough's instructions, typically around 475°F (245°C).
2. Layer the Pizza Sauce: Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
3. Add the Burger Element: Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the sauce.
4. Layer the Home Fries and Macaroni Salad: Scatter the roasted home fries and dollops of macaroni salad over the beef. It's untraditional, but trust me, it's going to be delicious.
5. Cheese it Up: Cover everything with a generous layer of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
6. Bake to Perfection: Slide your creation into the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
7. Final Touches: Once out of the oven, drizzle the top with mustard and ketchup in a criss-cross pattern. Sprinkle on any optional toppings you like.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Slice up your Garbage Plate Burger Pizza and dive into this wonderfully wacky fusion that promises to be a conversation starter at any table.
