Servings:

Ingredients

  • 8 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ¾ cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 prepared 16-inch pizza dough pastry
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or more to taste
  • ½ cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
  • 4 jalapeno peppers, sliced into thin rings
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2
Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon to drain on paper towels, reserving drippings in the pan.

Step 3
Saute onion in bacon drippings until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic; continue to saute until garlic is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Season the onion mixture with cumin, oregano, and black pepper. Stir cream cheese and sour cream into the onion mixture until smooth and spreadable.

Step 4
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pizza dough; top with mozzarella and Cheddar cheeses. Arrange bacon and jalapeno pepper rings over the cheese layer. Sprinkle parsley over the entire pizza.

Step 5
Bake in preheated oven until crust is firm and crispy and the cheese is browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

Sometimes I make a batch of this, load it into a gallon bag, snip off a corner, and pipe around the edge of the crust. I then fold the outer edge of dough over the mixture, towards the inside of the pie and seal: stuffed crust!
