Andrew's favorite pizza at Mellow Mushroom is Buffalo Chicken and I must admit - it is pretty darn good. It involves bacon, grilled chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch, caramelized onions, and cheese. So I figured I could at least attempt to recreate it at home. I a) have a good pizza crust recipe (thanks to PW), b) can grill chicken, c) can caramelize onions pretty darn well, d) make a mean homemade buffalo sauce, e) am Southern, I can fry bacon (in the microwave to save more calories) and finally f) know how to buy cheese and ranch...so why not right?
The results...dog-gone good. Andrew even said, "Dang! Gray, this even looks like a real pizza, not to mention is awesome!" Side-note...my homemade pizzas usually turn out in a rectangle rather than circle, he was impressed it was actually round. And finally, of course, I used low-fat, reduced fat, or margarine to save calories...and I didn't use nearly as much sauce or cheese as they do. I did, however, make my buffalo sauce hotter to make up for using less.
Sorry Mellow Mushroom it might be a while before you see us again!!
