Cowboy Pizza!

Cowboy Pizza!

Ingredients

  • 1 frozen pizza (I used a Tombstone 5 Cheese Pizza)
  • 2 - 2 1/4 cups pulled smoked bbqed pork (10 oz.)
  • 1/3 cup bbq sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet 'n Spicy)
  • oven roasted cubanelle (1 medium sweet red one)
  • oven roasted onion (half of a large)
  • pizza cheese to moderately cover, (I used about 1 cup Sargento's shredded Off the Block 5 Cheese Pizzeria blend)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup quartered grape tomatoes
  • garlic salt & pepper to taste
  • my homemade Jalapeño Cowboy Candy (or pickled/candied jalapeños), as many as you can handle
  • crisp-cooked bacon, crumbled (or REAL bacon bits), as desired
  • drizzle of barbecue sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400º F.
  • For Peppers and Onions: Julienne peppers into thin strips, thinly slice half of an onion. Place onto sprayed foil-lined baking sheet, spray top well, bake for 25 - 30 minutes. Remove and set aside. Leave oven on.
  • For Smoked Pulled Pork: Tear pork into bite-sized pieces into a medium bowl, stir in barbecue sauce. Do not heat.
  • To Assemble Pizza: Unwrap frozen pizza, (remove from cardboard), and place onto a round pizza baking sheet. Top with barbecued smoked pork, roasted peppers and onions, and shredded cheese. Pop into oven and bake (at 400º) for 14 - 16 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • While pizza is resting, top with shredded lettuce and tomatoes. Sprinkle with a little garlic salt and pepper to taste. Top with Jalapeño Cowboy Candy rings and crumbled bacon. Drizzle with more barbecue sauce.
  • Slice, and serve with an ice cold beer. Enjoy!
