Crazy Crust Pizza

This thin crust pizza is made with liquid batter for the crust and meat that cooks into the crust before topping with sauce and cheese!

I was really intrigued by this pizza - initially because of the name. Why is the crust crazy? Then reading the method behind it and I was like...okay this is a little crazy! You have a liquid batter and the meat goes onto it before the crust bakes?! Then comes pizza sauce and cheese. I reserved judgment until it was made and I had no problems whatsoever. It turned out beautifully and we all really enjoyed it. I mean, it was so easy and the crust was really yummy. The original recipe maker said they do different toppings all the time, so it doesn't have to be this specifically - try whatever combo sounds good to you!

Cheesy Pizza Roll

This stromboli has loads of cheese with pepperoni and salami inside and is topped with garlic herb butter.

I fall prey to the Facebook cooking videos, but thankfully, I've had pretty good luck with them. This one was from Tasty and it's basically a stromboli and that's what they refer to it as in the directions. I personally think my favorite part of this recipe and one that makes it stand out from similar recipes is the garlic butter that has herbs in it. I've gotten into using mini pepperonis instead of chopping larger ones or having whole pepperonis fall out when you're trying to get a bite :)

Copycat Maggie's Pizza Burgers

Pizza and burgers together are a great combination - in addition to pizza toppings, this burger has fried mozzarella half moons too!

Occasionally, Nick will request we make a food he has eaten somewhere. It took forever, but we finally got around to making a copycat for a burger he had at a restaurant in upstate New York where we lived for 7 years. I had never been to the restaurant. I want to say he went for someone's retirement or promotion or PCS or something. I'm not sure. The problem is that when he told me how to make it, he didn't tel me the precise order of ingredients. So my pictures don't match what it should be in its final form. Also, my provolone had molded, so no provolone here. Follow the directions below and eventually I will get more accurate pictures of this fantastic burger!

Zucchini Pizza Bites

A bite of pizza atop zucchini slices is the perfect low carb snack.

Nick did the keto diet last summer and when we decided to have a junk food/fried food night, I was at a loss for what to make that wasn't breaded. This was an easy pick that fit the low carb category and was relatively inexpensive to make. I love zucchini, so I was game for this recipe. No, these aren't bagel bites, however, they are still delicious little pizza treats.

Pizza Meatloaf

Meatloaf and pizza come together in this delicious dinner recipe with pepperoni inside and cheese and pizza sauce on top!

I found two recipes for pizza meatloaf and made both with varying levels of success - aka the consistency and baking time weren't always the most accurate. I messed with the recipes until I reached one that really worked for me. I have had horrible luck with stuffing my meatloaf with cheese, so cheese is on top. Instead of using whole pepperonis and chopping them, I opted for mini pepperonis. They are way less of a headache. One of the recipes called for 4 eggs and sauce in the meatloaf mixture, I went with 2 eggs and no sauce in the mixture. The final result was definitely a keeper and the whole family truly loves this variation on meatloaf. All the elements of pizza are there and who wouldn't love meatloaf that tastes like pizza!

Hasselback Pizza Chicken

No boring chicken for dinner when you can stuff it with pizza fixings!

I am always looking for new ways to fix chicken because lately I've had a bit of chicken aversion. All three times I was pregnant, I had a chicken aversion and sometimes it comes back and rears its ugly head even though I'm not pregnant. I saw the video featuring this hasselback chicken on Buzzfeed Food and knew I had to try it out. Their directions were for one serving, so I modified it to fit my needs and left it open-ended down below. I find that I didn't put a teaspoon of sauce in each slit and I definitely think the mozzarella slices was a little too vague.

So with the modified recipe, I ended up with a fairly easy chicken dinner. I loved the addition of all the pizza fixings plus the cheddar cheese on top. It tastes like a pizza and that was exactly what I needed that particular day!

Pizza Spaghetti Bake

Back when my blog was a young'n, I participated in a challenge called "Crazy Cooking Challenge". It was a once a month deal with a different theme each month. You could pick any blog, cookbook, magazine, etc. to make a recipe from...unlike SRC where we only make from other SRC members' blogs. I loved this challenge so much - unfortunately it is no more :( I would pin so many recipes from our posting day. The spaghetti challenge day was one of the best days ever. I saved tons of recipes to try and finally got around to making this pizza spaghetti bake from Tracey of The Kitchen Is My Playground. It is a very fabulous twist on regular spaghetti bake. I love that it wasn't ground beef and that the pepperoni gets crisped up. All around a great dish that everyone loved!
