I decided that pizza would be on the menu tonight. That is easy enough. We do the take and bake pizza from Wal Mart. We used to get it from Sam's Club all the time in Florida as it was just around the corner from our house. Well, no Sam's in Cedar or Southern Utah for that matter. Costco yes but it is in St. George and I am sorry but take and bake just isn't worth that amount of travel. Wal-Mart actually is pretty good if you simply zest it up a little. I cook it on a pizza stone that I hit with garlic salt before putting the pizza on it and I also hit the pizza with garlic salt before cooking. Funny, I assume it zests it up. I don't eat much pizza. I did have the toppings off a couple of slices at Natty's birthday party last week and a slice of pepperoni toppings tonight. I have really tried to limit the carbs I take in so bread and pizza crust is a rarity. That typically leads to a thought or conversation about hamburger crust pizza.
Hamburger Crust Pizza - what do you mean never heard of it? Well, if you are named Kathleen Fontano I don't buy it. This is a recipe I got when I was in Cub Scouts back in Sandy Utah. Funny, I even remember that Margot Kimball was my leader. Come on mother, we made it at home at least once but I am thinking a few times. It was only 29 years ago. These little details cannot slip that easy over 29 years. It is the real deal even if mother can't remember it. So real in fact that I made it tonight.
That's right. When I thought Pizza for the kids I said, dang it, pizza for me too. I googled Hamburger Crust Pizza Recipe and there were a few that popped up. Here is a link to the one I used (sorry, just noticed that you can't see the link - run your mouse over here is a link and it will pop up). Note that I modified the recipe a skosh based on toppings. Also, I didn't have a 12" pizza pan so I ended up with two 8" glass pie pans. Don't know if you call them pans. Anyhow, they worked. I did the red onion, the salami, the cheese, added pepperoni, tomato, mushroom, bell pepper and olives. 8 oz of tomato sauce is way to much and I added Splenda in place of the sugar. I have to say that it was pretty tastey stuff. The burger crust worked out well with the 93/7 ground beef. I managed to even hold it like a slice of pizza. Here are a couple of pics of the dish:
Oh yes, I did, and it was good stuff.
One final note with Jack for tonight. I was working on a couple of projects and heard the door open. It was Jack with a few questions about words he was spelling on an electronic mad libs game. Well, he asked me what a word was. I tried to sound it out as best I could. The word was something like wrpklmnouvia. As you might imagine I struggled with it. I told Jack it wasn't a word but he wasn't having any of that. He told me it meant "warning, danger". I said, It does? Jack simply said "yes, it is Japanese".
