Doctored freezer 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.

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.
Aldi’s take and bake pizzas are great for doctoring up.

Why is the left pizza on the right, and the right pizza on the left?

I couldn’t get a good pic of both and was in a lot of pain when I stitched them together.

Great idea with the kielbasa! Gonna try that myself. I do this almost anytime I get frozen pizza as well, which is a bit of a nostalgic comfort food thing for me I guess (Red Baron or Tombstone on a Friday night for max nostalgia). I almost always end up adding more cheese, as the mfrs seem to skimp nowadays.
Sorry to see you got injured. How did it happen?

I do this with Aldi pizzas! Less than $5 a pop, add red sauce, extra pepperoni and cheese, whatever, kids fucking LOVED it.
My secret sauce is preheating the oven with the pizza stone in there. Won’t even attempt pizza without a stone.
Dear reader, if you haven’t tried a pizza stone, get one immediately. No need to pay a bunch of money, it’s basically a big chunk of ceramic. LOL, go get a chunk of tile at the hardware store.

I am literally in enough pain that I had to brace myself before bending over to put it in and take it out of the oven. I had to stand the whole time it was cooking because I was afraid that if I sat I wouldn’t be able to stand up.
Sometimes doctored convenience food is the best people can do.
I’m glad you’re fed. That’s the important thing. That other person sucks to try and judge you for how you’re eating.
I like dino nuggets and olives on my doctored pizza.

The good thing about freezer pizza is its’ time saving potential: just take the frozen pizza, package and all and throw it directly into the bin. Done in 2 seconds. Doctoring it up first seems quite a waste of time.
What a shit take.

My pizza stone hasn’t been in my budget ever. But I did end up with an extra 12-in cast iron skillet. I put that in the oven when I preheat. I can’t cook the pizza on it because repeated bakings has removed all the cure. But it definitely acts as a good heat battery. I tried finding a good lead detection stick to see if I could test some terracotta tiles but I couldn’t find one on Amazon with a good enough rating.

Make sure you slice it thin just like pepperoni. You may even want to crisp it under the broiler for the last few moments

I broke my back in 2021. I can put in 4 hours of Labor harder than most people my age can even dream of. But I’m going to pay for it. Today I put in 4 hours helping a friend move from a second story to a first story. I literally ran circles around people half my age and did all the heavy lifting. I keep going until it hurts and then a little bit more because if I don’t then I’m going to create long-term problems. Things like this are physical therapy.

I like to get the cheese pizzas from Costco (the personal size) and add veggies and maybe some ham or salami. Broccoli mushroom and olive is pretty delish.

Why put an egg and fresh scallions in your ramen? Why add mustard to the sandwich you got from a vending machine? Doctoring stuff up makes it slightly less convenient for a massive improvement in satisfaction. Instead of criticizing maybe you should try it out.

Absolutely not, make me suffer
It’s also functional, when I was a lad there was a pizza place near us that sold jalapeno pizza that we would get because it would greatly reduce the number of people who wanted to get a slice

The old familiar sting.
Try to…pizza…it all away
/I got nothin

You’ll taste the onion but you won’t taste the sausage. Jalapenos will just cover that right up.
