I saw her whip this up on TV not too long ago and it’s so much fun. I make a version of this but I decided to pay hommage to Rachael straight up. I loved it, but the kids like my turkey burger version better. Aren’t they good boys??? Next time I’ll post my sloppy doggies version and you can decide!

Serves: 9 little leaguers Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 20 minutes

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds lean ground sirloin or ground turkey
1 packages beef or pork hot dogs, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon steak seasoning (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 (14.5-ounce) can tomato sauce
9 soft burger rolls – like at the ballpark

Be sure to have the kids help you with this one. It’s right up there alley, minimal chopping and lots of goodies they like. Cooper and Brady helped me whip these up. Here’s what we did…

Heat the extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan, in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add meat and crumble as it browns. Add chopped hot dogs after 3 to 4 minutes then cook 3 to 4 minutes more. Add the onions to the pan and cook to soften, 5 to 6 minutes more. In a bowl mix the spices, sugar, Worcestershire and tomato sauce. Pour sauce over the meat and simmer a few minutes to combine flavors. Slop onto buns and serve.

Serves: 6 Prep Time: 6 minutes Cook time: 18 minutes

1 store bought refrigerated pizza dough

1/2 cup pizza sauce

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 can pineapple chunks

1 package diced ham

1 jalapeno seeded and sliced (optional)

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees (or whatever you dough tells you to).

On a large baking sheet stretch out your dough to fit. Pour on your sauce and spread it around with a spoon leaving a 1 inch rim on each side without sauce, that is your crust. You can use more sauce if you like, my family likes light on the sauce.

Sprinkle the sauce with plenty of cheese, reserving just a bit to the side to put on top of the toppings. Next arrange your ham and pineapple as you like. Let the kids do this! They have a blast. I put sliced jalapeno on my half of the pizza because the rest of my family are a bunch of wusses when it come to the super spicy stuff. Top with a bit more cheese and bake for 17 minutes or until golden brown.

Pull it out of the oven and serve it up with a big salad. Game on! Enjoy!
