Alright its not a secret recipe that dates back 100 years. But Many people that eat my chili want to know how I make it. So whats behind all of the fuss you ask?! Nothing really, just a lazy mans dinner that turned out being very flavorful.

I didn't have much for groceries one day and decided to throw something together. I dug around the freezer and pantry and ended up having enough to throw together for a chili, I didn't know it was going to turn into greatness. But I take credit when I can get it.

Have you ever heard the expression "everything is better when wrapped in bacon". Well its the truth! 

And this rotisserie  chicken is no exception. The only thing that made this even more spectacular was the chicken gravy, and it's so easy to make! and has amazing garlic flavor!


 
Happy father's day to me! This Pizza was cooked on a pizza stone in the BBQ. The idea come's from a friend (foodfigure.com).

Although my BBQ isn't as hot as a brick oven, it does get warmer  then my kitchen oven. I was very impressed with how well the dough cooked evenly, and fast. You can use any dough and sauce you want. My recipes are coming soon!
 
Spicy Sausage BBQ Pizza

Toppings:
Hot Italian Sausage
Red Pepper
Red Onion
Real Mozzarella Cheese
Pizza Sauce
1 Tbs Olive Oil + more for brushing

Instructions:

1. I always start with making the Dough, it takes the longest (mine about 1 hour to rise).
2. While the dough is rising. Squeeze the Sausage meat out of the sausage casing. Heat some olive oil on low heat and pan fry the sausage meat while breaking it up into smaller pieces at the same time.
3. Place Vegetables on the BBQ and brush lightly with oil until they are roasted to preferred doneness.
4. When the dough has risen. Place a Pizza stone on the BBQ and turn it up as high as it will go. On a lightly floured cutting board shape your pizza dough. Add your sauce and toppings.
5. Slide the Pizza onto the hot Pizza Stone. My BBQ got as high as 650f and it only took about 6 Minutes to cook.

The crust turned out amazing! Crunchy on the outside soft on the inside.
