Ingredients:
- 1 to 2 cups leftover smoked Beef Brisket (shredded)
- 1 Pizza crust (pre-made store-bought or homemade from scratch)
- Bearded Butcher Blend Black Seasoning
- 1/4 cup Bearded Butcher BBQ Sauce (coating for brisket)
- 1/2 cup Bearded Butcher BBQ Sauce (pizza topping)
- 1 to 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 to 2 jalapenos, sliced (optional)
- 1 small Red Onion, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions:
- Season the Brisket: In a bowl, toss the shredded brisket with a generous amount of Bearded Butcher Black Seasoning. This adds a smoky, complex flavor that compliments the BBQ sauce.
- Preheat the Grill or Oven: Get your grill or oven ready for high heat. Aim for 425 °F.
- Prepare the Pizza Crust: If using a store-bought crust, follow the package instructions for pre-baking if necessary.
- Assemble the Pizza: Spread a thin layer of Bearded Butcher BBQ sauce over the pizza crust.
- Layer the Toppings: Sprinkle the seasoned brisket evenly over the BBQ sauce. Add the shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Add a BBQ Swirl: Drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup of Bearded Butcher BBQ sauce in a zig-zag pattern over the cheese and brisket.
- Optional Toppings: For a spicy kick, add the sliced jalapenos. The red onion offers a sweet and slightly sharp contrast, so include it if you prefer a more complex flavor profile.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza on a wire mesh or perforated pizza pan and bake it for 12 to 15 minutes in your preheated grill or oven. Keep an eye on it, as cooking times may vary. The crust should be golden brown, and the cheese should be melted and bubbly.
- Slice and Enjoy! Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving. The smoky brisket, rich BBQ sauce, and gooey cheese will make this a crowd-pleaser.
