Are you looking to get rid of all those leftovers?  Do you need a quick and simple way to celan out your fridge but you don’t want to just throw it all away?  Well then I have the perfect solution for you; PIZZA!!!!!   Yes, you heard me right, pizza, the all-time favorite Friday night dinner.  All you need to do is make or purchase pizza dough, roll it out and started adding the leftovers, sweet and sour chicken, beef stir fry, spaghetti, or whatever you have eaten over the last few days.

You think I’m crazy, don’t you?  Well did you know that they way we make pizza is nothing like what true Italian pizza was like?  Did you also know that pizza really was meant for leftovers?  It was, pizza the way it was meant to be was to be had sometime in mid-week and you would just pile on whatever leftover were in the fridge sprinkle a little cheese and bake.  It wasn’t until it came to American that pizza came to be how we now know it.  So why don’t you at least give this crazy thought a try and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Of course, you can go wrong with this crazy concept, your pizza may be soggy or too heavy, so there are some simple rules to follow.

1. Do not put too many toppings.  I always first put my layer of sauce and then add 1-2 nights of leftovers.

2. Do not put anything wet or soggy on the pizza.  So last nights stew would not be a good idea to use.  I have used gravy instead of pizza sauce and it works really well.

3.  Don’t combine foods that won’t taste good together.  I’m sure you don’t want to eat peanut butter chicken, or potato refried beans, but how about trying sweet and sour chicken with a little cheese.  Better yet forget the pizza sauce and just through some sphagetti and meatballs on with some mozerrella.

Remember getting rid of those leftovers will be easy with this simple pizza leftover recipe.
