Meat Lover’s Hash Brown Crusted Pizza

Pizza never gets old around here. Sure there are the family favorites, but I’m always tinkering with those and trying to come up with new surprises for my boys. This week, I got one–hash brown pizza.

It was part of the family game day eats contest that my brother and I put on for the boys. Lucky for me, they chose my dish as the winner. I got to keep my king of game day eats crown with this hash brown pizza crust winner! But you will definitely want to check this contender.

Sure, my boys might be a little biased, but I know my audience. Pizza is always a winner and they went crazy for the hash brown crust. Me too, but more so because it was so easy – no dough, no knead – and because I had a freezer full of half-empty hash brown bags that I wanted to use up. Gotta love it when when being efficient results in something tasty like this.
 
Now the pressure is on to keep the crown for next week’s game day eats challenge.
