Kevin's Loaded Baked Potato Pizza - Grilled!

Serves 2-4 people


Pizza Crust
1 package of Betty Crocker Pizza Crust - Just add water
2 cloves of minced garlic
1/4 to 1/3 cup olive oil

Pizza Toppings
1 package of garlic mashed potatoes. Prepare in microwave.
1 head of fresh broccoli - chopped
1 package of bacon bits
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
1 red onion - diced
  1. Prepare pizza crust per package directions. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare toppings and set aside
  3. Heat up grill to about 400-500 degrees. After heating, turn on low-medium heat.
  4. Spread out pizza crust and add flour when rolling to get nice consistency for a thin pizza crust. Pizza crust should be about a 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick and about 12-16 inches in diameter when done rolling. Put onto cookie sheet to transport.
  5. Mix garlic and olive oil in small bowl.
  6. Just before putting pizza crust on grill, brush olive oil mixture onto pizza crust making sure to cover all of it. Then flip over the cookie sheet onto the grill to get the pizza crust onto the grate. If you don't have room to do this, just use your hands and make sure the pizza crust with the oil is face down. It might take a few times to get the hang of this. Let cook for a few minutes and check consistently. It will become firm very quickly.
  7. After the crust if firm, brush olive oil mixture on top of crust and flip the crust over using a large spatula. It should flip easy. Cook for a few minutes on this side. It will burn if you don't watch it.
  8. When the crust is finished, it will look like it was fired in a brick oven. Very good! Remove pizza and bring inside to add toppings.
  9. Spread mashed potatoes evenly onto pizza crust.
  10. Add the rest of the toppings as you prefer in quantity.
  11. Lay down aluminum foil onto grates and set pizza crust onto foil. If crust is too big, put crust onto cookie sheet. Put foil under cookie sheet. This will protect the cookie sheet from getting black marks on it when being over the flames. Shut the lid and cook for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
  12. Cut and serve.
