Quick and Easy BBQ Bacon Pizza

This is no wood-fired, artisan masterpiece but it is tasty and it is also just about the easiest dinner ever.  We had BLTs the other day and since I knew I was planning to make this pizza, I just cooked up the full package of bacon and reserved some for the pizza.  With the bacon already cooked and waiting for me in the fridge, this was doubly easy.  And obviously you can switch up the toppings however you like.  Cheater pizza?  Probably.  Preserved sanity on a hectic day?  Definitely.

Quick and Easy BBQ Bacon Pizza

Number of Servings: 6
Time to Prepare: 25 minutes

• 1 tube crescent rolls
• 3-4 Tbsp barbecue sauce
• 4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 6-8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• kosher salt (optional)
• 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Grease a 9x13 pan.  Lay the crescent rolls out flat and place into the pan.  Press to seal the perforations and to reach the edges of the pan. Bake for 8 minutes (it should not be completely cooked, just slightly golden).

Spread barbecue sauce over the crust.  Sprinkle with cheese.  Spread red onion, tomato, and bacon evenly over the cheese.  Sprinkle with a pinch or two of kosher salt (I like it to give the tomatoes a little oomph, but maybe that's just me).  Bake an additional 7 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted.  Sprinkle with cilantro.
