# What You Need:

→ Garlic Naan Pizzas

01 - 4 mini garlic naan breads

→ Beef Topping

02 - 9 oz ground beef
03 - 1 small onion, finely diced
04 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
05 - 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Cheese Sauce

08 - 2/3 cup whole milk
09 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
10 - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
11 - 3.5 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
12 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
13 - Pinch of salt

→ Toppings

14 - 8 to 10 dill pickle slices
15 - 1 small tomato, diced (optional)
16 - 2 tablespoons ketchup (optional)
17 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional)

# Step-by-Step:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F.
02 - In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion, breaking up the meat until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes. Drain excess fat.
03 - Stir in Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more, then remove from heat.
04 - Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
05 - Add shredded cheddar, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and melted, then remove from heat.
06 - Place garlic naan breads on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute the beef mixture over each naan.
07 - Drizzle cheese sauce generously over the beef.
08 - Add pickle slices and diced tomato (if using) on top.
09 - Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until naan is crisp and toppings are bubbling.
10 - Garnish with ketchup and chives or green onions if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It transforms two beloved flavors into something that feels entirely new, yet tastes like comfort food you've always known.
  • Comes together in under 30 minutes, making it perfect for weeknight dinners when you want something that feels fancy without the fuss.
  • Each bite delivers crispy naan, savory beef, tangy pickles, and creamy cheese all at once—basically the cheeseburger experience redesigned for your hands.
02 -
  • Don't skip draining the beef—excess grease makes the naan soggy instead of crispy, and that crispy texture is everything here.
  • The cheese sauce thickens as it cools, so it should look slightly thinner than you'd expect on the stove—it'll set up perfectly in the oven.
03 -
  • Make your cheese sauce while the beef cooks so you're not scrambling at assembly time—it can sit for 10 minutes off heat without separating.
  • If you can't find mini garlic naan, cut regular-sized naan in half and account for slightly longer baking time of an extra 2–3 minutes.
