Even though I still had 3 essays* ahead of me, I just had to take a break to make dinner tonight. These days, little things like walking out to get the mail or making dinner or buying groceries are big treats for me. :-)
Inspired by an appetizer from Chateau Ste. Michelle's Riesling Rendezvous, I set out to create a pizza out of a pile of yumminess. The project was a success, so I've decided to write down the "recipe" and share it with all of you. Enjoy!
One Pillsbury Pizza Crust (homemade or frozen crust would work fine, too)
Sauce:
BBQ Sauce (We like mixing Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet n' Spicy and Rufus Teague Honey Sweet.)
Cheeses:
3 ounces of blue cheese, crumbled
3 to 4 ounces of mozzarella, shredded
Toppings:
6 ounces of mushrooms, rinsed and sliced
1 medium to large onion, sliced and caramelized [how to caramelize an onion]
8 ounces of meat, cooked (we used chorizo from Bill the Butcher)
Cook meat. Caramelize onions. Add some or all mushrooms to the onions for the last 2-3 minutes (just to soften the mushrooms a bit).
As meat and onions are finishing, roll out dough on greased pan or pizza stone. Spread BBQ sauce across entire surface. Cover with 2/3 of the blue cheese. Add other desired toppings (onions, mushrooms, meat, other veg). Add rest of blue cheese. Cover with mozzarella. Bake at 400F (204C) for 10-15 minutes or until melted and browning. Slice and enjoy!
*In case you're curious, I finished them all!

Heath should put up his pizza recipe!
So, Heath, are you making us pizza next time we're in town? ;-)
We could have a cook off! That way George and I get to try both.
