Ingredients
COPY INGREDIENTS
1 (12oz) ball pizza dough, gluten free if preferred1 tablespoon melted butter1/2 teaspoon garlic powder1/4 teaspoon dried parsley1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes6 oz Monterey jack cheese, shredded6 oz pepper jack cheese, shredded4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded6-8 slices hickory-smoked bacon, cooked and chopped1/4 cup sweet yellow onion, diced1/4 cup pickled or fresh jalapeno slices2 cans Red Gold® Mild Diced Tomatoes + Green Chilies 10 oz1/3 cup Queso Blanco, plus extra for dipping
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9x13-inch aluminum baking pan. Press the pizza dough evenly into the bottom of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot (like on top of oven) while you preheat the oven.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, dried parsley and red pepper flakes, set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 550°F with a pizza stone on the middle rack. Once heated, par-bake the crust for 5-7 minutes on the pre-heated pizza stone, until puffed and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and brush with the garlic butter mixture.
- Let the crust cool slightly. Top with shredded cheeses, bacon, diced onions, and jalapenos.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 12-16 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden, and the crust is crispy and browned around the edges.
- While the pizza bakes, heat the Red Gold Mild Diced Tomatoes + Green Chilies in a saucepan over medium heat until hot and jammy.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and spoon the heated tomatoes in two parallel lines across the top. Drizzle generously with Queso and serve hot with extra Queso for dipping.
