Bacon, Mushroom and Caramelized Onion Grilled Pizza
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
- 1 Tablespoon Finely Minced Garlic
- 1/4 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Flour
- 1 cup Half-and-Half Or Milk
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 dash Salt
- 1 dash Pepper
- 1/2 whole Purple Onion, Very Thinly Sliced
- 1 container Sliced Baby Portabello Mushrooms
- 1 container Bacon (I Used The Microwave Kind)
- 1 package Pizza Dough
- 1/2 cups Olive Oil (for Brushing On Dough)
- 1 dash Sea Salt
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Lets get two things out of the way first, ok?
- I used microwave bacon and pre-made pizza dough and I am not sad about it.
- If you want to do the long version, be my guest.
- I, however, am too lazy.
- So, in a sauce pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add garlic and red pepper flakes.
- Saute for a bit.
- Add butter and then flour.
- Cook the flour down a little.
- Add the milk (I heat mine a little in the microwave first).
- Keep on stirring until it thickens and makes a white sauce.
- Add paprika, salt and pepper.
- Heat up your grill.
- In a heavy skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and throw in the onions.
- Cook for about 3 minutes.
- Add mushrooms (and a dash of salt).
- Continue cooking until they are all brown, wilted and good.
- Meanwhile, cook up the bacon (in my case, microwave!)
- and then crumble it up into a small bowl.
- While this is happening, take a cookie sheet and spray THE BACK with oil.
- Spread your pizza dough out on THE BACK (you will have a rectangle).
- You are going to use your cookie sheet like a spatula or helper.
- Brush the exposed dough with some olive oil and then sprinkle with sea salt.
- Flip it over on your grill so that the olive oil side is down.
- Brush the now exposed side with more olive oil and sea salt.
- Grill for about 3 minutes.
- Bubbles are good!
- Flip.
- Grill for about 2 minutes more.
- Slide your pizza back onto the back of the sheet.
- Spread on the white sauce.
- Add your toppings (bacon, onion, and mushrooms).
- Top with shredded cheese.
- Slide pizza back onto the grill and shut the lid.
- Continue to cook for a couple more minutes or until the cheese is all melted and good.
- P.S.
- The picture is BC or before cheese!
- It looked prettier.
- However, at my house, we dont eat anything BC so we did add all that shredded mozzarella.
- Enjoy!
