This has always been a favorite appetizer when I have made them. I sold pampered chef a few years back and got some really delicious recipes! This is one of them!
Ingredients:
· 1 pkg. (11 oz.) refrigerated thin crust pizza dough
· 4 slices of bacon (chopped)
· 1 small red bell pepper (1/2 cup finely diced)
· 2 jalapeno peppers (or one for a milder version)
· 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
· 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
· 1 cup corn chips, crushed (about ½ cup crushed chips)
Directions:
· Preheat oven to 425 degrees
· Cut pizza dough (without unrolling) into 24 round disks
· Place disks on large stone pan and press to flatten and seal the seams
· Bake 11-13 minutes or until golden brown
· Meanwhile, slice bacon and cook in sauté pan over medium high heat until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towel.
· In the bacon drippings cook bell pepper and jalapenos until tender (2-3 minutes)
· Combine cream cheese, ½ cup of cheddar cheese, peppers, and bacon in mixing bowl.
· Spoon and divide cream cheese mixture over the cooked pizza disks
· Sprinkle with remaining cheese and corn chips
· Bake 4-6 minutes or until cheese is melted and crusts are golden brown
· Remove from pan and serve
