All You Need is Love & Pizza!

If I had to rank the things I love, in order of importance, it would look a little something like this...

#1: God

#2: Family

#3: Pizza

Breakfast pizza, traditional pizza, dessert pizza...warm pizza, hot pizza, cold pizza...I don't discriminate...I love them all.

Naturally, when North Texas Farm & Ranch Magazine asked for a recipe for the February issue, Meat Lover's Pizza was Super Hunk's choice. Mainly because he's supportive like that but also because if he had to rank the things he loves, in order of importance, it would look something like this...

#1: God

#2: Family

#3: Pizza...or tacos...but probably pizza...with a salad...and pie for dessert...you get the idea.

In honor of LOVE DAY, the people I love, and the food I love...here's a family favorite.

Ingredients:

1 Refrigerated pizza dough

(Homemade or store-bought)

1/2 cup marinara sauce

(Homemade or store-bought)

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella

1/2 cup shredded parmesan

3-4 slices bacon, cooked & chopped

3/4 cup ham, diced

1 cup Italian sausage, cooked & drained

10-12 pepperoni slices, cut in heart shapes

Fresh chopped parsley, optional

Roll out dough on slightly floured surface until desired thickness. (We're a crazy-about-thin-crust family so I roll until my arms hate me!) Spread marinara sauce evenly over crust.

 

In small mixing bowl, combine both cheeses. Sprinkle half over sauce and top with sausage, bacon & ham. Layer the rest of the cheese and top with pepperoni slices (in festive heart shapes) as the grand finale!

 

Bake according to crust instructions. Garnish with chopped parsley and a little extra parmesan. (Because let's face it, you can never have too much cheese, I need that on a t-shirt!)

 

Voila, a delicious way to spread the love!

Happy Valentine's Day!
