Bison Burger Pizza

Pizza is one of those great foods that had endless varieties. Kevin helped me construct a bison burger pizza that has become one of our favorite staples. I call it a buger pizza because it’s like a burger deconstructed then reorganized into a pizza format.

It starts with poppy seeds in the crust. If that sounds odd to you, think about eating a burger on a poppy seed bun. Spread traditional pizza sauce (tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic, basil, oregano) over the poppy seed crust. Cook the bison with chopped onion in a little olive oil and sprinkle on the pizza. (You could, of course, use regular ground beef, but I love ground bison and have used it exclusively instead of ground beef for a couple of years. It’s very lean, but it also has a great flavor.) Then top the pizza off with diced fresh tomato, shredded cheddar and mozzarella, and another sprinkling of poppy seeds. You won’t miss the French fries.
