Today’s recipe for this simple, easy and insanely delicious BLT Caesar Flatbread Pizza is brought to you by the North Carolina Pork Council.
When I was asked to come up with a recipe using bacon, my mind started wandering all over the place. I mean, what is bacon NOT good in???
It’s no secret that pizza is my one of my all time favorite foods, so it didn’t take long to figure out what I was going to make. Using store-bought naan (flatbread) found in the deli section of your grocery store, you can throw this pizza together in no time flat!
If you enjoy making your own breads, check out my recipe for homemade naan… it’s easier than you think!
And did I mention it’s crazy delicious?
I used the thickest cut applewood smoked bacon I could find and fried it just before it was crispy, since it was going to cook another 10 minutes when I baked it on the pizza.
What made this pizza even better was the Caesar dressing I used as the “sauce”. The combination of the flatbread, thick bacon pieces, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and creamy Caesar dressing just came together and “clicked”! The fact that it came together in less than 30 minutes made it even more awesome, as the last thing I want to do after work is spend all night in the kitchen.
What’s your favorite way to use bacon at dinnertime?
