A Complete Kid Friendly Dinner

Today is the day before payday at the end of a very long pay period! So I had to be a bit creative with dinner tonight.
Last week my husband and I were watching TV and saw a commercial for a cheeseburger, followed by a commercial for pizza. My husband mentioned how cool cheeseburger pizza would be.
So I used that for insiration and did a little research on line and came up with mini deep dish cheeseburger pizzas. The kids loved them! My little professor ate three of them, while Roo did her best eating one and a half.


Recipe

3/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons mustard
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 pizza crust (I use Bobby Flays recipe on foodnetwork.com, I substitute wheat flour for white and use honey instead of sugar)
3/4 lb ground beef
3 strips of bacon, chopped
1/2 cup onion , chopped
1/2 cup green pepper , chopped
salt and pepper (to taste)
shredded cheddar cheese


Directions:

Before making crust, combine sauce ingredients; ketchup, sugar, mustard, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce in a small sauce pan; simmer on medium heat. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Prepare pizza crust according to directions.
Combine beef, bacon, onion, green pepper, salt and pepper to taste; cook until beef is done.
Roll out your dough, using a biscuit cutter or glass cut the dough into circles and place in muffin tins. Spread some of the sauce in each one. Add meat mixture, top with cheese, and bake for 25 minutes.
(next time we are going to top them with a dill pickle slice to provide some additional texture)
