Pudgie Pie (Pie Iron) Pizza Recipe
Pudgie pie pizza is my daughter’s favorite kind of pudgie pie with pepperoni being her favorite. She requests them every camping trip.
PUDGIE PIE (PIE IRON) PIZZA SANDWICHES
Ingredients:
(mix and match the meat and other toppings according to the taste of your family - i’ve tried to include all the kinds of pizza flavored pudgie pies we make but we don’t make every kind during every camping trip so don’t feel you have to have every single ingredient)
White bread
softened butter
jarred pizza sauce
shredded mozzarella cheese
Plus any or all of the following:
crushed red pepper flakes (if you like extra spicy pizza)
pepperoni slices
precooked bulk italian sausage (I buy uncooked italian sausage, cook it over the campfire it, and save whatever is left over for the next pudgie pie meal)
chopped ham
sliced mushrooms (canned work best)
sliced black olives
chopped onion
chopped green pepper
pineapple chunks
or whatever you like on a pizza
Directions:
Generously butter one side of each piece of bread. Place one slice, buttered side down in one side of the pudgie pie maker.
Top with the meat(s), and veggies of your choice.
Top with 2 or 3 generous tablespoons of pizza sauce.
Sprinkle with the cheese.
Place the other slice of bread on top (buttered side up).
Close the pie iron and cook over hot coals or glowing campfire wood for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, checking it frequently to make sure it’s not burning.
When both sides of the bread are lightly toasted, remove the pie iron from the fire, but don’t open it for a couple of minutes, especially if you put a lot of toppings inside the pudgie pie. Letting it rest for a couple of minutes before opening it will ensure the everything gets heated through and the cheese melts.
If desired, serve the pudgie pie with additional pizza sauce for dipping.
