This Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza is a quick dinner recipe that is perfect for any day of the week!
Pizza has always been one of my favorite dishes- I mean who doesn’t like pizza! Â Growing up I was lucky to have an uncle who worked at a pizza place and could get us lots of free pizzas. Â So most of my birthdays growing up involved a ton of pizza. Â It doesn’t get old for me but my tastes have evolved some, especially after working at a pizza place for a few years in college.
I like to make “specialty” pizzas at home and ironically it’s a great way to use up odds and ends or leftovers. Â Leftover chicken gets re-purposed for Chicken Bacon Ranch or Buffalo Chicken Pizzas. Leftover beef can be thinly sliced, add some bell peppers and onions with an alfredo sauce and you have a Philly cheese steak style pizza. Â Brilliant!
Making pizza at home doesn’t have to be super complicated and getting the kids involved gets them super excited.  Making pizza at home is an awesome way to save a TON of money!  I can easily make several large pizzas for the price of maybe 1 large pizza from a pizza place.  That’s usually a savings of at least $20!  Some other take out items to make at home are Sweet and Sour Meatballs and Slow Cooker Sticky Pineapple Chicken. The pineapple is always a big hit with my kiddos!

Pizza is a favorite here as well and bacon on almost anything, including pizza, is always good. The rest sounds tasty too.
