Cooking Tips

Gonna let ’em sit at room temp for about a half hour, that way all the juices don’t seep into the pizza dough and make it soggy. If there’s one thing I know, nobody likes soggy pizza dough, duh. I wasn’t sure if it’d leak out or what could happen. So, you know, two different burgers, that way if one goes bad, I gotta back up. Now, after about 10 minutes, I checked the bottom, and it was golden brown, so I didn’t want it to burn. So, I pulled it, put it on aluminum foil, and then continued to bake it off so I didn’t burn the bottom.

Serving Suggestions

I figured the only smart thing to do was to put it in my mouth immediately. I mean, what else do you do with molten hot cheese besides eat it as quickly as possible?

I took half-pound burgers, stuffed them with pepper jack cheese, smoked them for a half hour, wrapped them in bacon, and then smoked them some more, and then I encapsulated them in pizza dough. And baked them off. Now, the only thing left to do is to eat these. Oh, yeah. Had to go with the extra cheesy one first. The sauce really set it off. The only way to improve it would be to use real pizza dough from a pizza place instead of the canned pizza dough. But this thing was still incredible. I’m just gonna continue to scarf on these burgers and get fat. Thanks for hanging out with me today. Hope you enjoyed it.
