In a skillet, heat a few tablespoons of oil over medium-high. Turn to coat the bottom evenly.
Unroll the tube of pizza dough. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 6 to 8 equal pieces. Take one piece of the dough and flatten slightly with a rolling pin or your hands. Add to the pan with the oil. Cook on the first side until browned (about 1-2 minutes) and carefully flip the dough piece over. Cook on the second side until browned. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining dough pieces - add oil as necessary to the pan.
Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, brown and crumble the beef with onion until meat is no longer pink. Drain if necessary. Stir in the bacon. Add bbq sauce to taste (we like ours the consistency of a less messy Sloppy Joe's). Heat through, stirring occasionally.
To serve, top the fried flatbread with beef mixture and cheese.
Notes
Change it up by skipping the BBQ sauce and using ketchup and mustard instead!
Not a fan of onions? You can omit them completely.
Add pickle slices to your melt or serve a pickle spear on the side for the real cheeseburger experience!
Feel free to add shredded lettuce or sliced tomatoes when serving.
