Steak Pizza

I know it has been many months since I have posted a new recipe so here is one.  I have been trying to find creative ways to use up leftovers and pizzas is my new way.  I use a store bought crust and then add whatever I have in the fridge.  This serves many people and prevents me from throwing away food.  If you do not have the ingredients here use what you have.  You can use mushrooms if you do not have peppers and onions, or add some if you do.  Use cheddar or provolone if you do not have Mexican mix and mozzarella.  If you are out of barbecue sauce, use steak sauce or tomato sauce.  The point of this pizza is to use what you have, not to go out and buy more.  Enjoy the pizza.

Ingredients:

1 store bought rectangular pizza dough

2 cups leftover cooked steak, small dice.  I used Ribeye.

1/2 - 3/4 cup barbecue sauce, homemade if you have it

1/2 cup diced peppers, any colors you have

1/2 cup diced onions, any kind you have

1 1/2 - 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

1 1/2 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Here's how:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Spray a 11 x 13 baking pan with nonstick spray.  I used a pizza stone so no spray is needed.

Spread the dough on the pan to completely cover the bottom and make sure the dough goes up the sides to create a crust.

Bake the dough for 8 minutes.

Remove the crust from the oven.

Spread the sauce on the bottom in an even layer.  

Add the meat and distribute it evenly.

Add the peppers and onions and spread evenly.  

Add the Mexican cheese and then the mozzarella.  Cover all the way to the edges.

Put the pan back in the oven for 8 minutes.

Turn the pan halfway and bake for another 7 minutes or until the crust is brown and the cheese is melted and starting to brown.

Slice, eat and enjoy.
