World's Best Pizza

Too Good To Eat

Well, now that we have a great pizza crust in the oven, let's get some mouth-watering toppers going. The main feature is the hamburger sauce, which I like to start a couple hours ahead of time to let it simmer. Here's the recipe for one 12" pizza pan.

In a medium saucepan on high heat, melt 2 T. butter and fry 3 T. chopped onion. Stir a few minutes, then add and brown:

1 fresh tomato, chopped               1 clove garlic, chopped

1/3 c. sun dried tomatoes, chopped

Next, add 1 1/2 lbs. of hamburger and mix well. Sprinkle over the meat:

1 T. oregano                    2 t. basil                     1 t. thyme

2 t. chili powder           1 t. raw honey                 2 t. olive oil

Stir for 4-5 minutes, until about a third of the beef is brown. Turn onto very low simmer and cook for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.

Right before baking, make a white sauce and stir the beef mixture into it. This makes a nice creamy layer to spread on the pizza. For the whitesauce:

Brown 2 T. flour in 2 T. butter in another saucepan. Add 1/4 c. of heavy cream and 1/4 c. of water. Stir til thickened, then add to beef (or vice versa). Remove from heat immediately.
 

To layer the pizza, first spread on the beef mixture. Top with 2-3 cups of fresh cauliflower florets, blanched. Sprinkle on 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, and then 1/4 c. diced pimientos. Garnish with any other condiments to your liking. Bake again for 10-15 minutes, til nicely browned. Enjoy fresh and hot from the oven!
