Recipe: Meat Lover's Flatbread

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Mike and I found these awesome Naan flatbreads at our local grocery store. We usually use the ones you find by the pre-made pizza crusts but these were garlic flavored and looked sooo good so we couldn't pass them up.

We have been doing a ton of flatbreads lately. We've had a bunch of buffalo chicken ones and then a cheesesteak one and also a southwestern one with guac and corn and all that goodness. Our favorite pizza is meat lover's pizza so one night we decided to try out a meat lover's flatbread and it was absolutely amazing!! So...why not post it?!?!

Meat Lover's Flatbread

Ingredients:

Naan Flatbread

1/2 lb. hot italian sausage

pepperoni

3-5 ham slices or 1/2 ham steak

1/2 green pepper, sliced thin
1/4 red onion, sliced thin
1/2 jar pizza sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Put pizza stone in oven and preheat to 425º. Spread pizza sauce over Naan flatbread. Add desired meats. I used the ones above. Add green peppers and onions. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake about 15 minutes or until pizza is crispy. If you do not have a pizza stone, just preheat a cookie sheet for a few minutes and put flatbread on that.

Mini Pizza Bites

     This was another one of the hor d'oeuvres I served at our Book Club meeting this month. (Ok, I could have said "appetizers" but, i just really wanted to use that word. :P) I wanted something that was easy, but also didn't taste like they were from a box. I found this recipe off of, yes folks, Pinterest. Surprised??? Probably not.
     I don't usually get home from school until about 5pm and I scheduled Book Club for 6 this month so I knew I didn't have a whole lot of time. I decided to prepare all of the dry ingredients on Sunday so all I would have to do was add the wet ingredients and put them in the dish. This worked out great and I even had some down time to change before people came over. Always a plus when I can get out of my work clothes first!!
     Not only were they easy but they were also very tasty. (At least, in my opinion.) I should have warmed up the pizza sauce but I think I got too lazy by then. I recommend it, however, because it's a good way to keep the bites warm when you eat them.
