Pizzadillas Supreme

I can be indecisive sometimes – do I want pizza…do I want quesadillas? How about both of them made into one amazing meal. My favorite type of pizza is red sauce with Italian sausage crumbles, pepperoni, bell pepper and red onion – so that is exactly what I put in these Pizzadillas Supreme. Along with this super easy homemade Marinara – perfect for dipping.

These quesadillas are made with my favorite pizza toppings, so you can do what ever you like most. Just keep in mind that the water content of the ingredients can sog out your tortillas. So, if you add things like mushrooms, olives, or jalapenos, you will need to drain off extra liquid. You could also go total meat-lovers, with ham, bacon, pepperoni and sausage. You need a full sized decent griddle for this recipe – one that can cook at least 4 of these. You can also use a flattop like the Blackstone, so that everyone can eat hot food at the same time.

These are rather fillings quesadillas – so I didn’t serve a side dish. If you needed to stretch it, you could do a yummy green salad or mozzarella sticks as an appetizer. The marinara is also great for mozzarella sticks, fried calamari or cheesy bread. I serve my marinara in simple 8 oz ramekins. It is important to have something to hold the sauce instead of just putting it on the plate. My kids also grabbed some ranch to dip as well – because they gotta have ranch with their pizza!

Now Let’s Get Cookin’!
