Ingredients

For the Sauce

  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pinch pepper

For the Pizza

  • 1 batch homemade pizza dough* (you can also use store-bought dough)
  • non-stick spray, oil or butter for oiling pans
  • 1 lb ground beef (mine was extra lean, but you could use something fattier and drain it)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1-2 tomatoes (use a plum variety that doesn't have a lot of juicy pulp)
  • 1/2 pkg bacon - cooked (mine was a 375 g package and I like to cook it in the microwave)
  • 1/2 an onion
  • 2 large dill pickles
  • 225 grams shredded mozzarella cheese (around half a large package)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.  Arrange racks as close to the center of the oven as possible.

For the Sauce

  • Combine all the sauce ingredients in a pan or pot and heat over medium heat.  Warm until cream cheese melts and whisk together to combine well.  Set aside.

For the Pizza

  • Meanwhile, cook ground beef, salt and pepper in a large pan over medium-high heat until completely cooked.  Set aside.
  • Cut top off tomatoes and use a sharp knife to scoop out seeds and pulp from the inside, squeezing the juice out (discard).  Chop tomatoes into small pieces.
  • Shred cheese, crumble cooked bacon, mince onion and dice dill pickle into small pieces.
  • Oil 2 pizza pans or 1 sheet pan.  Stretch dough over pans and press it into edges.  If you use one of our dough recipes it will make 2 round pizza pans (12 inch) or one sheet pan. 
  • Top with sauce.  Sprinkle with cheese and top with remaining pizza toppings (ground beef, tomato, onion, dill pickles).
  • Bake in preheated oven.  If baking two pizzas, bake for 8 minutes, rotate between racks and bake 8 more minutes.  Check bottom to make sure it's lightly browned (baking time will vary slightly depending on how thick your dough is).  For one pizza start checking after 14 minutes. 
  • Enjoy! :)
