Bacon Cheeseburger pizza
Pizza dough: 1 pkg yeast
1 cup warm water
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 TBSP oil
3 cups flour

Mix yeast, water, sugar, salt and oil together. Add flour all at once. Knead just until combined. Let rise for about 1 hr.

Brown and drain: 1lb. ground beef
3 garlic cloves
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 large red onion

Bake crust on 14" pizza pan at 450 for 5-8 min.
Remove and cover with: 1/2 cup grated parmesan
1 cup pizza sauce
1/4 cup bacon bits (I used really bacon fried bacon and crumbled)
Ground beef mixture
1 cup mozzarella
1 cup sharp cheddar
(I substituted colby jack for both cheeses and used a little less)
Bake for 15-20 min or until cheese is melted.
This is a taste of home recipe that I modified by using my own favorite pizza dough recipe and my own homemade pizza sauce.

Sorry...didn't get a picture of these. I thought these would be a little hot, but it turned out to be mild. Jay loves fish tacos...and he really liked these. :) So glad I tried them.
