cheeseburger pizza w/ bbq sauce

Friday right?
Pizza night?
Time to kick back, chill and sloooow the heck down from a hectic week. How do I like to spend my Friday nights? Well, since I'm an old fartknocker I like going to bed early, yeah I know totally boring. But there are some nights when I want to totally chill and have a couple glasses of ice cold Prosecco with pizza and maybe sit outside and look at the water.
Here on cape cod it's hard to find a good pizza joint.  We have a whole foods which does a really good job, but they haven't done a BBQ pizza....yet.
So you just need to make your own.
At least when you make your own you can put BBQ sauce on it and extra cheese, plus whatever else you fancy/crave.

For the easy recipe:
all I did was use the multi-grain pizza dough from Whole Foods, smeared a bit of spicy bbq sauce on it, then some mozzarella cheese, then some cooked bacon, then some thinly sliced sweet onions, then some cooked hamburger (don't put raw hamburg on as it might not cook all the way through).
Take a little bit of olive oil and rub the edges of the pizza crust with it.
Bake in 450-500 degree oven till nice and crispy (about 15 minutes +/-).

If you like this then you're going to love my hamburg & cheddar pizza with fig jam.
Yes fig jam--It goes so well with this pizza, you must try it.

  31. Darn woman, I am so hungry right now. Silly me, I did not cook today. Had a snack left back from one of my cooking ventures the other day but that was since this afternoon.

    Unfortunately grilled KFC is not here yet but I am debating heading to a drive through nevertheless.

  32. That's my kind of pizza! We only make homemade pizza these days, and we love to get really creative. I've got to get off Cape to Whole Foods to try that crust.

  36. I was in WFoods yesterday and saw that they had a shelf of pizza stuff (dough, sauce, etc.). Now that I know this one is good, I'm going to try it. And multigrain too!

  38. Dude, you totally called yourself a fartknocker. Haha I haven't heard that in years, and totally made my day. Listen, there's nothing wrong with taking it easy on a Friday. Some of us work on Saturday even :)

    And pizza? Well, do I have to say more?

  49. Last Friday night I actually made it past midnight. Was so proud of myself. However, 51 Fridays out of a year in bed by 10. Would rather spend my Saturdays doing other stuff than hungover or tired.

    Still bummed that we do not have a whole foods but doing the BBA challenge is starting to get me an ego about everything dough.

    Looks awesome as usual!!!
