Yummy Cheese Pizza

I have had a really busy week and was pleasantly surprised when I called my husband on Friday night and he said he had already started dinner. When he told me it was pizza I was even more excited. I love pizza and was craving it all week. He decided to make a half an half pizza, the best of two worlds. Half yummy cheesy goodness and half with bacon and cheese. Come on who doesn't love Bacon? It hit the spot and there was enough for lunch the next day, which was much needed since I was having the family over for my mother in laws birthday dinner. Stay tuned this week for the yummy recipes for the Birthday Dinner..... 

Here's my hubbys recipe: 

Cheesy/Bacon Pizza

Items Needed:
Skillet
Pizza Stone

• Pizza Dough, Homemade or like us a can of Pillsbury thin crust
• Tomato Sauce, again Homemade or like us Raos
• Shredded cheese 
• Bacon, chopped 

 

• Cook bacon in skillet on medium high heat until nice and browned, with a slotted spoon scoop up the bacon and set aside
• Roll out pizza dough and prick dough with a fork or use the prickly side of a meat mallet ( that's what I did ) it helps it from puffing up and prebake for about  5 minutes
• Spread sauce over  dough adding bacon to half of the pizza, then spreading cheese over the entire pie. 
• Bake 12- 14 minutes or until bubbly and yummy!!

Pizza Cacciatore

I am a big believer in using leftovers, growing up my father always wanted to use things up. It had become sort of a family joke with some of his concoctions and combination's. My grandfather was the same way and it so cute to see how much my father is becoming more and more like his father. Now I am more of a reuser than a reheater. I like to take something I made and turn it into a new dish but of course that isn't always easy. So sometimes I go back to an old favorite and pizza is it. Not only is it a great way to use up meat and veggies it is a pretty easy dish.

Now the only thing with this recipe was that after reheating; the peppers were a little too mushy to use for the sauce so I decided to puree the sauce and add some cream. It ended up very much like a vodka sauce with out the vodka.Which by the way is one of my favorite sauces. The sauce was so good that I ended up dipping my pizza in it..... and it was yummy.

Pizza Cacciatore

• 4-5 pieces leftover chicken cacciatore , shredded
• 1 1/2 c cacciatore sauce
• 1/2- 1 c cream,
  
• 2 c shredded cheese of choice
• Pizza Dough, homemade or ready made this time I used Pillsbury Pizza Dough
  

Preheat oven 375

• Roll out pizza dough on a pizza stone and prick with a fork all over to prevent bubbling bake 6-8 minutes
  
• Puree sauce in pan ( I used an Immersion Blender )
• Meanwhile heat up sauce in sauce pan until it reaches a boil, slowly add the cream until it is the consistency you want thick enough to use as a pizza sauce but not runny and whisk together, remove from stove set aside
  
• Take pizza dough out of oven and spread with a layer of sauce, then a layer of chicken and then sprinkle top with cheese, bake for 10 minutes or until cheese starts to bubble, and get slightly browned.
  

You know what I say YUMMY!!

Enjoy!

I did have intentions of grilling up some chicken for my pizza but time was not on my side. My hubby was getting home early so I had to think quick.
