My best friend is probably the best, “home cook” I know. She can make chocolate chip cookies look like a gourmet meal. She also taught me that not all good food is pretty and not all pretty food is good. And this sometimes ugly, but good quick and easy homemade pizza is totally her idea.
I always call her on my way out to the grocery store when I’m making something different for dinner. That’s if I cook! I know that’s horrible, but I’m trying to do better. She has the ability to tell you everything you need without evening thinking hard. I chatted with her regarding this quick and easy homemade pizza before selecting my fresh ingredients. She had some great pointers for meat options. She uses lunch meat for ham and turkey options. Which I am going to try in the near future.
Once we had a girl’s day at her house and she made everyone a version of this quick easy pizza with toppings of their choice. I was inspired, because it was so simple and easy. I never thought, having ingredients on hand for a quick and easy homemade pizza would be a thing this southern chick would do. But when you tell me that I can just buy the pizza sauce and dough already prepared then that is another story.
It’s totally a pizza that will please a crowd and everyone can select their own toppings.
Anyhow for some reason, I bought 3 cans of thin crust pizza dough by Pillsbury and before they go bad I wanted to make some homemade pizzas. Yeah, prepared pizza dough for this southern chick is about as homemade as it gets. This a quick and easy homemade pizza that can be served for a girl’s night, kid friendly or any other occasion that cheese is appropriate. And in my world cheese is one of those things that makes everything better.
