BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza

Made this just last night and it turned out amazing! I just invented the recipe after thinking of my favorite cheeseburgers. Enjoy!

What You Need

1 Pre-cooked pizza crust
1 lb hamburger, browned
1/2 jar BBQ sauce
1 can diced tomatoes
1 c bacon bits
1 bag pizza blend cheese
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
1-2 c French's Fried Onions

Directions

Mix the BBQ sauce and tomatoes in a small bowl and spread over the pizza crust. Top with the hamburger and bacon. Spread the cheese over the meats (using the italian first, then the cheddar so you can see the pretty yellow cheese on top). Then top with the fried onions. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes (until pizza is warmed through, cheese is melted, and onions are crisped). Serve with a salad and soda, or just as is.

Bean with Bacon Soup

Not sure if I posted this recipe before, but I made some slight alterations to my original recipe and it turned out amazing so here it goes...

What You Need

1 package dry navy beans, pre-soaked
8 c chicken broth, or water with 8 t/cubes bouillon
2 carrots, grated
2 celery stalks, small diced
1 onion, small diced
4 strips of bacon, sliced thin
3 T butter
Salt and pepper to taste (I added about a t salt, and 1/2 t pepper)

Directions

Place all ingredients in the crock-pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve topped with bacon bits (or cooked and crumbled bacon), cheese, and crackers. It is also great with a side of bread or rolls. Enjoy this hearty, comfort food, soup on a chilly winter/spring day!
