Hi friends! I hope you all had a great weekend! I bought my boyfriend Pearl Jam tickets and we joined 18,000 of our closest friends for a great high energy show. Before Saturday I knew very little about their music since I switch between exactly two genres of music; country and pop. While it may not have been my cup of tea, I still had a great time and nothing made me happier than seeing my boyfriend excited to see one of his favorite bands. The weather was also absolutely gorgeous this weekend, but you can definitely tell cooler temps are right around the corner. I don't know about you, but once the cooler weather settles in, my palate changes from craving salads and lighter foods to craving warm comfort foods like pizza and pasta. One of our favorite things to do on a Saturday night is to make homemade pizza, open a bottle of wine and watch a movie. To save time, we buy a pre-made crust and we also use a pizza stone, which I think is key to a perfectly cooked crust. We don't really follow an exact recipe; we usually just pick out ingredients we have a craving for, but the two ingredients, besides cheese and sauce, our pizza always contain are blue cheese and Big John's Ol' West BBQ and Dippin' Sauce. Here is a recipe for one of our favorite pizzas.
BBQ Chorizo Pizza
1/2 C pizza sauce- Use more or less depending on your preference
1/2 Red onion-sliced
1/2lb cooked Chorizo
8oz. shredded mozzarella- Use more or less depending on your preference
Sliced fresh mushrooms
Blue cheese crumbles
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees
2. Brush crust with olive oil
3. Spread pizza sauce on crust
4. Add Chorizo
5. Add onions
6. Add mushrooms
7. Add blue cheese
8. Top with mozzarella
9. Drizzle BBQ sauce over the top of the pizza
10. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted
I hope you enjoy this pizza as much as we do! What are your favorite pizza combinations?
Have a great night!
Nicole
