So Chris (@ gmc2003) posted his burgers with a twist, which was pretty much a glorified take on a pizza. They looked amazing and I knew I had to make them. Decided that since it was 2 of us, I'd just make one large one and we'd share it. At the end of the day, it was really good but not what I set out to create. There was a specific twist to this I wanted to share so regardless of the final outcome, I thought I'd go ahead and toss it out there and just suffer the embarrassment of screwing it up. My twist will come a bit later, so grab yourself a tub of popcorn, top off your beer, and get ready for the ride.
Here's what I started with. Please take note of the ingredients
Did up some homemade marinara sauce
Made the bowl out of the Italian sausage and the pizza dough
Add the bacon
Add pepperoni
Some onion, red bell pepper and Spanish olives
Smoked cheddar cheese
Marinara
Add some provolone
Sun dried tomatoes
On to the grill finally. This has been a bit of a process
Within just a few minutes it totally cratered. Too much stuff packed into it. Sausage and crust just couldn't take the weight so I wound up with a really thick pizza
Oh well...it was still REALLY good!!
Plated and ready to eat
Well, it didn't come out as I'd hoped but it still was fantastic. I wanted to re-create the twisted burger that Chris posted but at the end of the day I wound up with the world's shortest, fattest pizza. The part of this I was trying to showcase is a small portion of what I've learned from SMF. Remember back at the beginning when I asked you to pay attention to the ingredients? Well, here's why:
-Homemade Italian sausage
-Homemade bacon
-Homemade pepperoni
-Homemade sun dried tomatoes
-Homemade marinara sauce
-Home smoked cheddar cheese
Yep, that's what this thread was intended to be about, a true testament of what can be gleaned from this forum if you really want to put forth the effort to learn and apply what you've learned. This certainly did not come out as hoped, it definitely was not a pretty presentation, but it is a reflection of how great this forum can be if you choose to utilize it.
Off my soapbox now,
Robert
