Pizza Night
Hubby and I like to have pizza night every couple weeks. We usually make two pizzas on Friday night and have the leftovers for lunch on Sat/Sun. We like different things on our pizzas so it works well.
This time, Hubby made a BBQ chicken pizza. It just had BBQ sauce, chicken, bacon, and cheddar cheese. I made a pesto chicken pizza. I used pesto as my sauce and added chicken, goat cheese, and sun dried tomatoes.
Both pizzas were quite tasty and were even better leftover (I love cold pizza). We used the canned dough this week because we had some in the house. I much prefer using Trader Joe’s pizza dough even though it is a bit more work. The whole wheat dough is great.
love your adaptations- and i agree, one-pot meals usually need more veggies!

Not that this meal is in any way healthy, but at least bumping up the veggies (and the servings) reduces the amount of pure indulgence per serving…
Love all the changes you made to this! And I agree- the more veggies, the merrier 🙂

Glad I’m not the only one!
I love that idea to just throw extra veggies in. I always have some leftover unused veggies going bad in the fridge after I’ve used some for a recipe. The biscuits on this look amazing.
This looks rich and satisfying. I love the idea of biscuits on top rather than pie crust. Cream cheese chive biscuits sound especially delicious!

I definitely plan to make these biscuits again some time. They’d be delicious even without the creamy pot pie filling under them.
I love the thought of throwing the extra veggies in, i think a lot of people are hesitant to do so. This looks so delicious and satisfying 🙂

Yea when it comes to cooking, I figure there’s no harm in playing with recipes. Baking is another story…
My boyfriend, who eats a good portion of the overall meals I cook plus leftovers, hates veggies. This is a problem, because I don’t like food going bad but I can’t eat it all myself. I love recipes like this because it’d probably be SO tasty, he’d hardly even notice the abundance of green. Or he’d pick the peas out. Who knows.

I can’t imagine hating veggies… But I agree, I think he’d hardly notice the veggies in this. It’s that creamy and delicious.
This recipe looks delicious. Do you know the nutritional values? If you post it on http://www.myrecipemagic.com they will calculate it for you and you can get paid for posting recipes.
I love that you topped this off with biscuits instead of the traditional flaky crust!

Biscuits are always the right answer 😉
