Ground Beef Mixture
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon pickles, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Condiments
- 2 tablespoons ketchup

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F to prepare for baking the flatbread melts.
- Cook Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, seasoning it with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it apart until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
- Prepare Flatbreads: Place flatbreads on a baking sheet. Spread ketchup and mustard evenly over the surface of each flatbread as the base layer.
- Add Toppings: Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef, diced onions, diced tomatoes, and pickles (if using) over the condiments on each flatbread.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly on top of the assembled ingredients.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese has fully melted and is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, slice the flatbreads, and serve warm for a delicious, savory meal.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or plant-based beef for a lighter or vegan-friendly option.
- Add fresh lettuce or additional condiments like pickles or mayo after baking for extra freshness and flavor.
- For extra crunch, toast the flatbreads lightly before assembling the ingredients.
