Meatball Blue Cheese Bacon Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 package (12 oz.) Rosina Italian Style Meatballs
- Pizza dough or prepared pizza crust
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- ½ white onion
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup chunky blue cheese dressing
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F. If using a pizza stone, let the oven and stone heat for at least one hour prior to baking the pizza, so the stone has time to heat properly. If using pizza dough, place in a warm, dry place to rise for at least one hour. While the dough is rising, cook meatballs according to package instructions. When cooked, transfer the meatballs to a large plate and cut each in half. Set a large skillet over medium heat add the bacon cooking until crisp. Set aside allowing to cool and then chop. Drain off the bacon grease, add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and add in the onions. Cook stirring occasionally until a nice golden brown and caramelized, set aside. Add in remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and sliced mushrooms, cook until roasted and golden brown. Spread the pizza dough out evenly over a baking sheet or stone. Top pizza dough with blue cheese dressing as a base. Then top with the meatballs, bacon, mushrooms and onions. Top with blue cheese crumbles and mozzarella cheese. Bake on baking sheet or on pizza stone for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
