HAWAIIAN PIZZA DIP

"You might have opinions as to whether pineapple and ham belong on a pizza, but you can't deny that they belong in this dip, which is filled with cheese and bacon. Serve it up with pizza scoops."

Ingredients

  • 1pineapple, halved through the stem
  • 1tablespoon olive oil
  • 1small red onion, small diced
  • 6ounces Canadian bacon, diced
  • 3tablespoons canned chopped green chilies
  • 8ounces cream cheese, diced
  • 3tablespoons sour cream
  • 1cup grated mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1⁄2cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4slices thick cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 4tablespoons sliced scallions, divided
  • 1⁄2cup canola oil
  • 1(13 7/8 ounce) can pizza dough
  • 1jalapeno pepper, cut into thin rounds

Direction

  1. Preheat oven to broil. Scoop the flesh from the pineapple halves, getting as close to the edge as possible. Discard the tough center and chop the fruit. You should have about 1 1/2 cups chopped pineapple.
  2. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook onions until soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in diced canadian bacon and cook for another 2 minutes. Add chilis, cream cheese, sour cream, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella and shredded cheddar cheese to the pan. Stir to melt completely. Stir in half of the bacon, 2 tablespoons chopped scallions and 1/2 cup chopped pineapple. Spoon into prepared pineapple halves and top with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
  3. Place pineapples on a baking sheet and broil until dip is bubbling and top is golden, about 5-8 minutes. Garnish with 2 tablespoons scallions, remaining chopped pineapple, remaining bacon and jalapeno slices.
  4. To make pizza chips, heat canola oil in a skillet to 350 degrees on a deep fry thermometer. Unroll pizza dough and cut into 2-inch pieces or triangles. Working in batches, fry dough until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a towel-lined plate. Serve on the side of dip.
