Ingredients:
1 6-8 oz can of Pizza Sauce (I prefer Contadina)
1 half cup Heffys (Sweet Mesquite, Original, or Hot & Spicy)
1 half stick butter
2 tsp garlic powder
1 pizza crust 12-14 inches. (prepared or home made, in a rush I use a boboli)
1 8 oz package of mozzarella cheese
1 8 oz package of sharp cheddar or pepper jack cheese
Pulled Chicken, beef, or pork

Any meat can be used on this pizza, but the best way to prepare is by pulling the meat apart. Pulled chicken or beef will allow the Heffys to better penetrate and give a better flavor. I usually place my chicken, beef, or pork in a bowl and pour a liberal amount of Heffys; stir and let it soak for about 5 minutes.

Start by preparing the crust; if you are using a homemade or box, follow the recipe.

Pre-heat the oven to about 425 degrees. I usually bake the crust for up to 5 minutes for a crispy texture. While pre-baking the crust; melt your butter and stir in the garlic powder. Once your crust begins to crisp, spread the melted butter and garlic powder over the surface of the crust.

Next is the sauce. Use about half of the pizza sauce and mix equally with your favorite Heffys flavor. I like my pizza to be saucy, so I may use a bit more; apply per taste.

Then spread your cheddar or pepper jack cheese evenly across the pizza.

Next is the meat topping; making sure that there is plenty of sauce absorbed into the meat, spread evenly on the crust.

Spread the mozzarella on last, this will melt more evenly and give a better presentation.

Pop it into the oven for 15-18 minutes, checking on the cheese to ensure just the right melty goodness.

Slice it up and enjoy.

Hope this makes your mouth water!
