  • Homemade Goodness: Easy Mince Pizza Recipe (Better Than Takeout!)

     

    Goodbye to restaurant style pizzas, I really mean it…I can’t tell you how often I get asked to make pizza at home.

    Quick and Easy Mince Pizza

     

    Quick and Easy Mince Pizza
    Quick and Easy Mince Pizza

    I made this pizza last night for a quick dinner. I had been roaming around with the recipe for making the perfect pizza for so long and the thought of topping the pizza crust with minced triggered me last night all of a sudden. I had no other choice but to execute my idea.
    When it came to top the pizza crust, I went a little overboard and made ground chicken sauce.Topped the crust with the ground chicken and then with veggies, olives generously sprinkled mozzarella cheese and herbs and baked it in the oven for 30 minutes. For the entire 30 minutes, I literally peeped into the oven window and enjoyed the amazing show of crust puffing up, ground chicken getting browned and the cheese getting melted, what a divine pleasure it was!!!
    Each step I did with so much passion and waited so eagerly to have a bite of this pizza. As the pizza came out perfectly baked with a soft crust and the mince topping on it along with the melted golden cheese on it, the mere sight of it made me go wild. I screamed out of joy and I burned my tongue out of greed!
