Day 5, Game Day Pizza

For years and years we've been without cable television.  Until recently our tradition had been to go to the local pizza parlor anytime there was a sporting event we wanted to watch on television.  We now subscribe to Sling and therefore have many of the sports networks but we still enjoy going out for pizza occasionally on game day.

We've been following Women's March Madness and was planning on watching a game tonight so I thought why not still have game night pizza at home.

Pizza might be one of my very favorite foods and that is partly due to it's versatility.  You can put anything on a pizza crust and tonight I decided to make a bacon cheeseburger inspired pizza.

To save time I started with a store bought crust using Thousand Island salad dressing instead of the more traditional tomato pizza sauce.

Since this was a bacon cheeseburger I used shredded cheddar for the cheese component.

Ground beef was simply seasoned and pan fried and put on top of the cheese.

I chopped and fried a package of bacon, drained off the grease and put it on top of the crust with the burger.

I put a little more cheese on just to help hold the meat in place and baked according to the directions on my crust package.

When it came out I had an assortment of cheeseburger fixins to go on top, onion, pickles, and tomato.

My daughter who doesn't like pizza (I know, hard to imagine right?) loved it! She said I needed to make sure I kept that recipe to which I responded, "what recipe?"  Seriously, so easy no recipe is required.
