Blue Ribbon Recipe

Your whole crew is going to enjoy this elevated homemade French bread pizza. Lightly brushing olive oil on the bread adds a hint of flavor and helps to toast the bread. Tomato sauce with fresh garlic adds a nice flavor. Cooking the pepperoni, salami, capicola, and prosciutto, crisp them up. When mixed with the browned hamburger, it makes this a super hearty and meat lover's pizza. On top is a hefty amount of melted fresh mozzarella cheese. Super easy to make, these are better than anything in the frozen food aisle.

How To Make italian stallion pizza (my hubby's favorite)

  • Sliced pepperoni, salami, capicola, and prosciutto in a skillet.
