Trader Joe's Pizza- toppings of your choice :)

Happy Saturday! How this week flew by, and I have three new recipes to post, but I am traveling for work and forgot my recipes at home. I will post them on Monday for sure. In the meantime,
I have this great alternative to your store-bought pizza, or restaurant pizza. I have the pizza stones, the ones you can buy from Pampered Chef, and they have been a lifesaver for making homemade pizzas. Now, I am not as adventurous as to attempt to make homemade dough, but Trader Joe's is here to the rescue :)

They have a Garlic/Herbs Pizza dough that is just plain awesome. I added some  shredded Gruyere cheese, tomato sauce, mushrooms, sliced tomatoes and- homemade pulled pork- and it was insanely delicious!

Ingredients
1 package of TJ's Garlic and Herbs pizza dough ( see picture below)

2 cups of shredded Gruyere cheese
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
3 cups of BBQ pulled pork - Hubbie made this, but  TJ's also offer some great ones, in the frozen section)
2 cups of sliced buttoned mushrooms (Costco sells packages of 24 oz for $5.00)
3 tbps of tomato sauce

Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. While it is heating, remove the dough out of the plastic bag, and leave it out for a minimum of 20 minutes, to breathe and rise. I used this time to prep the other ingredients, like shredding the cheese, slicing the mushrooms and tomatoes.

After 20 minutes has passed, roll the dough so that it fits over the pizza stone. Add a bit of flour to the stone, so that the dough doesn't stick on it. Spread the tomato sauce, then sprinkle the cheese, pork, tomatoes and leave mushrooms for last. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the dough is browned and crisp.

Happy to report that there were only 2 slices left for lunch the next day :))
Enjoy this gorgeous weekend,
Beijos,
