Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare the Jiffy Pizza Crust mix according to package instructions and press into a lightly greased 9 x 13 inch cake pan.
- Pour the Four Cheese Pizza Sauce evenly over the prepared crust.
- Arrange sliced black olives, sliced mushrooms, cooked and crumbled hamburger, pepperoni, and cooked bacon evenly over the sauce.
- Sprinkle diced green onions and the four cheeses (Pepper Jack, Colby, Monterey Jack, and Mozzarella) over the toppings.
- Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier crust, consider baking the crust for 5 minutes before adding the sauce and toppings. If you don't have all four cheeses, you can substitute with your favorites or use a pre-shredded pizza cheese blend. To enhance flavor, you might also add Italian seasoning or garlic powder to the pizza sauce. This dish is reminiscent of other comforting favorites like Shipwreck Picnic Casserole.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty pizza with a fresh side salad or some garlic bread for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with Bacon And Egg Potato Salad for a delightful twist. Consider offering a selection of dipping sauces like ranch or marinara for an extra flavor boost.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through, ensuring the cheese is melty and the crust stays crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of crust instead of Jiffy Pizza Crust mix?
Absolutely! You can use homemade dough, store-bought pizza dough, or even a cauliflower crust for a gluten-free option. Just make sure to adjust the baking time according to the crust type you choose to ensure everything is cooked perfectly.
How can I make this recipe vegetarian?
To make a vegetarian version, simply omit the hamburger and bacon. You can add more vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini for extra flavor and texture. The four cheeses will still provide a rich taste without the meat.
What can I do if I don't have Four Cheese Pizza Sauce?
If you don't have Four Cheese Pizza Sauce, you can use regular pizza sauce and mix in some shredded cheese or cream cheese for a creamier texture. Adding Italian herbs will also help mimic the flavor of the Four Cheese sauce.
