I helped a friend move today. In related news I hurt myself today.
I had plans for dinner. I wasn’t in any condition to make follow through because of the extreme back pain. Freezer pizza to the rescue. To one I added banana peppers and cotija To the other I added kielbasa, jalapeno and red onion.
It’s a great way to turn scraps and leftovers into food.
Cost per person, $5 plus extra toppings. It’s almost impossible to put a dollar worth of toppings on a pizza.
I like doctoring up freezer pizza. My go-to ingredients are red pepper flake, garlic powder, shredded cheese (whatever I have on hand), and grated parmesan (added prior to baking). Sometimes if I’m feeling like putting in some extra effort, I’ll dice up bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms, then toss them into the freezer, so I can put a couple handfuls on top before putting the pizza in the oven.
I thought about red pepper but remembered I had jalapenos. The cotija is almost the same as parm but a lot less money.
