Jalapeno Popper Pizza Recipe

I had never thought to make a jalapeno popper pizza til my friend Melissa told me about it and we just had to try it. And let me tell you if you like spicy jalapeno cheesy goodness this is definitely something you need to try! We loved it and will def be making it in the future. I also have a recipe for a grilled cheese jalapeno popper sandwich can't wait to try that. The recipe I used all ingredients listed except I used a few more jalapenos and cute the bread crumbs into a 1/3 of the amount. I also didn't use all the cream cheese just a nice light layer. But it was oh so good :) You can also use any cheese this one said the Mexican blend but I opted for Cheddar and I'm pretty sure my friend used Mozzarella. Use whatever you see fit :) Oh yeah and I used real bacon and prob more than recommended. Prob like 5-7 pieces :)

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
• 1 (12 inch) pre-baked pizza crust
• 3 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and sliced
• 1 (3 ounce) jar cooked real bacon pieces (such as Hormel™)
• 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Directions

1. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Stir together the softened cream cheese and ranch dressing mix in a bowl until smooth. Spread the mixture on the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle the jalapeno slices and bacon on top of the cream cheese mixture; then top with the shredded cheese.
3. Combine the melted butter and seasoned bread crumbs. Sprinkle the mixture over the top of the pizza. Bake in preheated oven until the bread crumbs are nicely browned and the cheese has melted, about 15 minutes.
