Sloppy Joe Pizza

As a kid I loved Sloppy Joe’s and I don’t think I’ll ever out grow that love. Poking around in the kitchen I found the making for Sloppy Joe’s except for buns and a pre-made pizza crust. What more can I say. A plan was born and a rich meat and garlicky pizza was for dinner.

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood Pellet Patio Heater, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

Ingredients: Sloppy Joe Pizza

• 2 pounds hamburger 85/15
• 1 Lg. can of Manwich Sloppy Joe mix

Directions: Sloppy Joe Pizza

Chop the onions and garlic and toss them into a cast iron skillet with the red pepper flakes. Cook them until they are soft. Add Sloppy Joe mix and simmer until with blended. Let cool until ready to top your pizza crust. Brush the pizza crust with a light coat of olive oil and then pile on your sloppy Joe toppings. Cover with cheese, to taste. Preheat your Pacific Living Outdoor Oven to 425 degrees (216c). Cook your pizza for 8 to 10 minutes keeping an eye on the crust so you don’t over brown it.

Cooking Directions: Pacific Living Outdoor Oven

Cooking in the Pacific Living Outdoor Oven is a snap. If you are going to use the smoke box fill it up first, with either wood chips or pellets. I like Lumberjack pellets because there are so many different kinds and low ash. (Easy clean up).

Turn on the propane tank. Open the oven door so you can see and hear when the burner lights. Turn the control knob to the high position and hold it in. At this time press the igniter button. You’ll be able to hear and see the burner light. Continue to hold the control knob for about 10 seconds for the burner to get hot.

Close the door and preheat the oven to your desired temp. You may have to adjust it up or down until you reach your temperature but once you hit it the oven will hold it. Preheat your Pacific Living Outdoor Oven to 425 degrees (216c). Cook your pizza for 8 to 10 minutes keeping an eye on the crust so you don’t overcook it.

 About our Recipes

We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Louisiana, Green Mountain, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Pacific Living Outdoor Oven, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.

The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can even do some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….

Live your Passion,
Ken & Patti
