Pizza Friday has me constantly searching for new and creative ideas. I am not crazy about some of the fads that are out there so looked to create something that was a twist on something I had done before. Many a time I have made barbeque chicken pizza. While I really enjoyed it, I was looking for a new twist on barbeque pizza for pizza Friday. Why not make a version of barbeque hamburger and place it on a pizza? This recipe I have developed uses ground beef and bacon with a combination of cheeses to enhance the flavor of the pizza. The white cheddar adds a great sharp and tangy flavor to the pizza. The layering of the pizza also makes a huge difference with the white cheddar below the ingredients and the mozzarella sprinkled on top.  The mozzarella adds a creamy and milky flavor to balance out all the sharp flavors of the other ingredients.

Pizza Crust: I used my own food processor pizza crust recipe. My recipe uses a combination of wheat and 00 flour. I developed this recipe to try to recreate the pizzas I had tasted in Italy. This recipe makes for a tender and silky pizza crust. You can also use a premade crust or your own favorite recipe.

Cheese: In developing this recipe, I think the cheese is the key. I used a white cheddar layered under the beef mixture adds a sharp and tangy flavor. The mozzarella cheese on top of the beef mixture provides a mild and milky flavor that balances out the spiciness of the barbeque sauce.
