# What You’ll 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)

# How to Make It:

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.
05 - Gradually whisk in milk and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
06 - Add shredded cheddar, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and melted, then remove from heat.
07 - Place garlic naan breads on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute the beef mixture over each naan.
08 - Drizzle cheese sauce generously over the beef.
09 - Add pickle slices and diced tomato (if using) on top.
10 - Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until naan is crisp and toppings are bubbling.
11 - Garnish with ketchup and chives or green onions if desired. Serve immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It's a total crowd-pleaser that comes together faster than ordering takeout, yet feels like you actually tried.
  • The naan gets crispy on the edges while the cheese sauce stays creamy inside, creating this textural contrast that makes each bite interesting.
02 -
  • Don't skip making your own cheese sauce—it's literally four ingredients and five minutes, and it's what separates this from just sad cheese melted on bread.
  • The pickles aren't optional; they're the entire reason this works, cutting through the richness with their tangy bite.
03 -
  • Brown your beef properly instead of rushing it—those caramelized edges are where the flavor actually lives, and it only takes an extra two minutes.
  • Shred your cheese fresh if you can, because it melts into the sauce silkier and tastes noticeably better than the pre-shredded stuff with anti-caking powder in it.
