Once you serve this, it will become a staple at you table. It is totally addictive! We use rectangular prepared pizza crust from Trader Joe's and flatbread such as Stonefire Artisan brand. Round crusts are fine as well. Or, if you have time, make your own crust.

1 cup Thousand Island dressing (recipe below)
1 lb. cooked ground beef
2 cups arugula (optional) washed and well dried

When ground beef is ready, stir in caramelized onions. Let cook about 2 minutes more.
Spread Thousand Island dressing liberally on crust
Add and spread arugula if using

Notes
*This dressing recipe makes more than you’ll need, but the extra is delicious to serve on the side, or as a green salad dressing. Store leftover dressing in refrigerator.
Optional additions to layer just under cheese: halved cherry tomatoes; kosher beef “bacon” like Jacks Gourmet Facon
