Add sliced bacon to a cold dry pan and cook over medium heat until crispy.

Remove bacon and drain on paper towel, leaving bacon fat in the pan.

Add diced onions and a pinch of salt to the pan, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Add 1 pound of ground beef to the onions, breaking it up with a spatula and browning it.

Season with kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, cooking until moisture evaporates.

Remove from heat and stir in cooked bacon, Dijon mustard, ketchup, and half of the cheddar cheese.

Let the filling cool to room temperature.

Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 10x15 inches.

Transfer the cooled filling onto the dough, leaving a border around the edges.

Add chopped dill pickles and green onions, then sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese.

Moisten the edges of the dough with water, fold the sides over the filling, and roll tightly from the bottom.

Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, seal the ends, and brush with melted butter.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and bake in a 375°F oven for about 35 minutes until browned.

Let cool on a rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
