Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1.5 cups pulled pork
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
Base:
- 1 pizza crust
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Heat oven to 450°F (232°C), ensuring rack is positioned in the center for even cooking.
- In a skillet, sauté sliced mushrooms, chopped onions, and minced garlic in olive oil until vegetables become translucent and tender, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Generously spread BBQ sauce across the entire surface of the pizza crust, creating an even, flavorful base.
- Carefully layer pulled pork across the sauced crust, ensuring uniform distribution for consistent flavor in each slice.
- Distribute the sautéed mushrooms, onions, and garlic evenly over the pulled pork layer.
- Liberally sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetable and meat toppings, covering the pizza completely.
- Transfer pizza into preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden-brown crust edges and fully melted, bubbling cheese.
- Carefully remove pizza from oven, allow to cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Enhance flavor by marinating pulled pork in BBQ sauce overnight for deeper, richer taste profiles.
- Choose pre-made or homemade pizza crust depending on time constraints and desired texture.
- Customize cheese blend by mixing cheddar with mozzarella for extra melting and complexity.
- Adjust baking time based on crust thickness to prevent burning while ensuring crispy edges.
