Big Mac Pizza
We have pizza night every Friday night at our house. Sometimes we have calzones or Stromboli, but it’s all one of the same to me. When you eat the same thing week after week, ya got to get creative, and let’s just say, we’ve been creative with our pizza toppings.
Truthfully, it’s kind of fun for us to come up with new pizza ideas. The Big Mac Pizza tops our list!
For a long time (about 15 years), I was on the hunt for the “perfect” pizza crust. I’ve tried so many variations. I found the “one” about 5 or 6 months ago, thanks to Pinterest! (Don’t you just LOVE Pinterest?!?) Seriously, it is everything I want a crust to be, and it’s oh, so close to Pizza Hut crust! If you are still looking for the perfect crust, check this one out from Frugal Upstate. Bookmark it, pin it, write it down, do whatever you do with recipes you NEED to try. Do it now, I’ll wait!
