Barbara's Little Cheese Pizza 🍕🧀

This quick and delightful twist on pizza is perfect for snack time, game day, or a casual gathering with friends! The melty cheese combined with crispy bacon offers a flavor explosion, and it’s incredibly easy to make. Plus, there's no need for traditional pizza dough—just grab some hot dog or hamburger buns as your base! Serve with a side of your favorite dipping sauce for an extra kick! 🌶️

Ingredients

• ½ lb. Longhorn cheese
• ½ lb. bacon (slightly frozen for easier grinding)
• Thumb-sized piece of onion
• 1 tbsp. prepared mustard
• Hot dog or hamburger buns (as many as you'd like!)

Instructions

1. Start by grinding the cheese, bacon, and onion together in either a food grinder or processor until they reach a crumbly consistency.

   🚀 Pro Tip: Freezing the bacon slightly makes it easier to chop and grind without getting mushy. Also, you can experiment with different cheese varieties for unique flavors!

2. Mix in the prepared mustard until well combined.

3. Spread the cheesy mixture evenly on split hot dog or hamburger buns cut into quarters.

4. Preheat your broiler. Place the buns under the broiler for about 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.

   🔥 Watch them closely! Every broiler is different, and this can go from perfectly browned to charred in seconds!

5. Serve hot and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces like marinara, ranch, or even a spicy aioli!

Variations

• Veggie Lover: Add diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the cheese mixture for an added veggie crunch! 🥒
• Spicy Kick: Mix in some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce for those who love a little heat! 🌶️
• Different Buns: Try using mini baguettes or pita bread for a fun twist on the base.

Make-Ahead Tips

• This mixture can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Simply broil when you're ready to serve! 🥗

Enjoy this cheesy delight and watch your friends and family come back for seconds!
