Ingredients for Brisket Pizza:

• Pizza Dough ~ Use our easy pizza dough recipe or store bought.
• Pizza Sauce ~ We are making our own with tomato sauce, olive oil, onions, bell peppers, carrot, brown sugar, garlic and Italian Spices.
• Smoked Brisket ~ Cooking a big brisket over the weekend provides quite a few meals for the week and if you are tired of sandwiches, add it to pizza!
• Mozzarella Cheese ~ Mozzarella is the classic pizza cheese but any Italian blend will be tasty.
• Green Onions ~ We are just using the green tops for this since the sauce has onions too. They add color and a burst of fresh flavor.
• Sliced Tomatoes ~ Fresh tomatoes pick up a hint of smoky flavor on top of the pizza and make this pizza a show-stopper. We just used some greenhouse tomatoes from the grocery store for this but as soon as summer rolls around, our garden fresh Roma tomatoes are going to be the answer.
• Cornmeal ~ To sprinkle on the pizza peel and pizza stone.
