Ingredients

  • Pizza Dough for 3 pizzas - Homemade or Store Bought
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 cups pizza sauce
  • 1 1/4 pounds lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 slices cooked bacon
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded colby jack or cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced onion
  • 3 tablespoons cornmeal for dusting

Instructions

  • Prepare a grill fire with a pizza stone to 350° if using a Big Green Egg or 400° using a propane or kettle style grill. Add hickory chunks for smoke flavor.
  • Brown ground beef in a skillet, breaking it up as it cooks until browned and starts to crisp. Drain excess grease if needed. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, stir until combined. Cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Roll out the pizza dough, one at a time, to desired thickness. Line a flat baking sheet or pizza peel with parchment paper. Roll the edges over around the crust.
  • Brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Spread 1/3 cup of pizza sauce over the dough in a thin layer.
  • Sprinkle with 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese.
  • Add 1/3 of browned ground beef, 1/2 cup colby jack cheese, tomatoes, onions and 1/4 cup mozzarella.
  • Sprinkle the pizza stone with 1 tablespoon cornmeal.
  • Slide pizza and parchment paper on the pizza stone and cook with the grill closed.
  • Remove parchment after about 2 minutes. Use a large spatula or metal pizza peel to turn every 5 minutes, cooking until crust is golden brown and cheeses are melted.
  • Remove to a cutting board and rest 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Notes

OVEN DIRECTIONS:
  1. Place pizza stone on the center rack of the oven and preheat to 500°.
  2. Cook pizza on the stone, turning every 5 minutes until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown.
Storage: Store cooled pizza in a zip to bag in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
