This tasted just like the poppers I make only with a crust! NOTE: Prep time does not include cooking bacon or making dough from scratch.

Number Of Ingredients 9

- pizza dough, see note below
8 oz - cream cheese, room temperature
4 oz - cheddar, grated
4 oz - monterey jack cheese, grated
4 oz - cotija cheese, crumbled
1/2 - red bell pepper, diced finely
2 tbsp - sweet onion
2-3 - fresh jalapenos, sliced into rings
2-3 slices - bacon, cooked and crumbled

Steps:

  • I recommend using or rolling your dough out thinly. You could make two pizza's with this amount of cheese, but I wanted to really get a popper flavor, so I used a LOT of cheese on just one pizza.
  • Bring cream cheese to room temp and place in mixing bowl with the other cheeses, diced red bell pepper and diced onion. Mix till well combined. NOTE: You can add diced jalapeno to the cheese if desired. Also you can use any white melting cheese instead of Monterrey Jack.
  • Place dough on a pizza pan or in a cast iron skillet. Spread cheese mixture out over dough. Add sliced (rings) of fresh jalapeno and crumbled bacon on top.
  • Bake till cheese is melted and bubbly. I used a 12" cast iron skillet, baked at 425ยบ for 30 min. Cool slightly then slice and enjoy.
