Ingredients
Scale
1 pound smoked meat (brisket, pulled pork, or chicken)
1 pre-made pizza crust (or homemade)
1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup sweet bell peppers, diced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Olive oil for brushing
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.
Prepare the Crust: If using a pre-made pizza crust, lay it out on a pizza stone or baking sheet. Brush the crust lightly with olive oil for added flavor.
Add Barbecue Sauce: Spread a generous layer of barbecue sauce over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Layer the Smoked Meat: Take your smoked meat and spread it evenly over the barbecue sauce.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top of the smoked meat.
Add Vegetables: Scatter the sliced red onion and diced bell peppers over the cheese for added texture and flavor.
Season: Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
Garnish: Once out of the oven, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the pizza for a burst of flavor and color.
Slice and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges for serving.
