Sauerkraut & Wiener Pizza

When was it that pizza became mainstream eats?  I grew up in a small town of the Midwest during the 80's . . .and we didn't have a major chain pizza place until I was almost out of high school.  Regardless of that pizza chain, my family ate pizza nearly every week . . .homemade pizza.  Pizza with from-scratch dough/crust with homemade sauce and the toppings varied.  But I can guarantee you this:  it was often leftovers from during the week.  And if there wasn't much for leftovers in the fridge . . .then for sure it was wieners on the pizza.  In this version of pizza, we used pre-made crust and my hubby and I decided that sometimes you just can't go wrong with wieners and sauerkraut.  I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!

Sauerkraut & Wiener Pizza

Ingredients:

1 Pre-Made Pizza Crust

1 Cup Sauerkraut, well drained

1 and 1/2 Cups Pizza Cheese (Shredded Mozzarella or other Pizza Blend)
Tomato Sauce

1 Tablespoon Ketchup

1 Tablespoon Mustard

1/2 Cup White Onion, Chopped Course

3 Old Fashioned Wieners (such as Ambassador Old Fashioned Wieners)

Instructions:
Step 1:  Prepare the crust as directed on the label.  If it needs to be pre-baked before adding the toppings, pre-bake it.  If not, move to Step 2.

Step 2: In a small bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, ketchup and mustard.  Set aside.

Step 3:  Slice the wieners into bite sized pieces.

Step 4:  Assemble the pizza - pour the sauce onto the crust and spread out - leave about 1/4 inch of naked crust on the edges.  Top with 1 cup of cheese.  Then, add the wieners to the pizza top along with the sauerkraut and onion.  Top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.

Step 5:  Bake according to crust directions on the packaging.

Enjoy!
