Bacon Bear Pepperoni Pizza – PizzaClack

I read the post Debbie wrote about the bacon asparagus pizza the other day and I thought, pizza sounds really good. So I read the post again. Yeah, definitely need to have pizza.

Luckily I had a pizza crust mix tucked away in the back of the pantry. I dug out the crust mix and started looking for toppings. I didn’t have the prosciutto, or the tomato sauce, or the volcanic vinegar, or the asparagus, or the goat cheese, so I changed a few ingredients. I gathered the toppings I had on hand and here is what I came up with.

Bacon Bear Pepperoni Pizza

Ingredients:

  • dough of your choice (my choice is Jiffy’s pizza dough)
  • sauce: One can of Nalley’s Walla Walla sweet onion chili
  • caramelized onions (slow-cook 2 thinly-sliced large onions until soft and golden)
  • 1 pound thick-sliced bacon fried, drained, and crumbled
  • 1 pound Black Bear pepperoni, sliced
  • 1 pound chopped mushrooms (If you have gathered any fresh Morels use them)
  • 1 Red, Green, and Orange bell pepper, chopped
  • 4-cheese blend (Walmart’s Fiesta blend)
  • Hot sauce of your choice to taste

Follow the directions on the box to prepare the dough. Roll it out on a pizza pan and spread the can of chili over the dough. If you want to change the taste you can substitute a can of baked beans, Manwich sauce, or mini ravioli for the chili.

Layer on the bacon, pepperoni, peppers, onion and mushrooms. Top with the cheese and bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 19 minutes.  Now that is a darned good pizza.

Forgive me, but after reading all of your other posts, I just assumed this recipe involved bear meat – LOL!!

Clearly we are in different parts of the country (me – North Jersey) as I don’t recognize some of the brands you mention, but I’m sure I can find equivalents or be creative as I think my daughters and I would all really like this pizza. I also think Debbie’s recipe sounds delicious, but I might have slightly more trouble getting my girls on board with that one. Nonetheless, I plan to try both.

p.s. “volcanic vinegar” :-)

Darlene you are correct. The Black Bear peperoni is made from Bar meat. It is one of my favorites. I recommend that if you can find some you stick with that on your Pizza.
