Pizza -- Norwegian style

 First step in making pizza is making your pizza dough, though I was lazy again and used store-bought dough. I decided to stuff the short ends with cheese, and the long ends with strips of cheese left to melt along the edges to give a crispier crust. This is a hefty pizza, so beware!

What you'll need is this:
1 Pizza crust
pizza sauce
400 g ground beef (a little under a pound), browned
1 medium onion, sauteed
1 small leek, thinly sliced
lots of shredded cheese (at least 2 cups)
cheese 'sticks' for filling crust (optional)
basil
oregano


Next you'll want to fry the ground beef up in a skillet. When it's good and browned, spread the beef evenly over the pizza dough.


Now it's time for some sauteed onions! We love onions, so we used the whole onion. Feel free to use 1/2 an onion if this looks like too much for you. On top of the onions comes the sliced leeks, raw to give extra crunch and flavor.


Pour the sauce over the top of the whole thing, it will sink down to the bottom of the crust as it cooks, just be sure to spread it as evenly as possible.


Cover with cheese, and sprinkle a few more slices of leek on top. Sprinkle with basil and oregano to taste.
The outcome: a deliciously filling pizza, guaranteed to leave leftovers!

Mmmmm, cheesy pizza!
