I will be the first to admit that I am not big on trending recipes you see all over social media. Viral one day then gone the next day.

One of the things I like about this recipe besides being super easy to make (and yummy) is you can customize the ingredients to your liking.

Instead of the pepperoni, you can add a bit of ground sausage or bacon. You can even add a piece of sliced jalapeño if you like your pizza a little spicy.
