These are exciting days for pro football fans here around Atlanta. Everyone is pulling for the Falcons in the Super Bowl! They’re making up cheers and dances. Heck, there are probably a few die-hard fans who are already setting up their tailgate spots.
And who can blame them? The last time the Falcons went to the Super Bowl was in 1999. That’s a long time to wait, y’all.
Did you know that the Falcons training facility is in Flowery Branch, Georgia? Yep, just about 5 miles down the road from us. Whenever we see some outrageously expensive luxury sports car flying down the interstate in that direction, we always say, “must be one of the Falcons.”
It’s also funny to run into one of them in the local Subway. Let me tell you something – those fellows can eat!
We’ll definitely be pulling for the Falcons in the Super Bowl. And, in my opinion, football game watching calls for some serious snacks. Like this BLT Pizza for instance.
This is one tasty, quick, and easy pizza, too. I admit I took several shortcuts with this recipe, but hey – you need to hurry and get that pizza in the hands of your football fans. Right?

How to Make BLT Pizza
To make your pizza prep simple, try using one of these refrigerated Pillsbury® Thin Pizza Crusts. They’re right there in the dairy case at your grocery store.
Unroll the crust into a baking sheet and pop it into a 400 degree preheated oven. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, take it out and slather on some purchased (yes, purchased!) Alfredo sauce. I got a version with roasted garlic and Parmesan. It’s yummy. Top the Alfredo sauce with lots of mozzarella and halved grape tomatoes.
Next, dice up 10 or 12 strips of packaged, fully cooked (yes, another shortcut!) bacon and scatter that on as well.
Pop the pan back in the oven and cook for another 10 to 12 minutes or until the crust is browned, the cheese is bubbly, the bacon is crispy, and the tomatoes are a little slumped and roasted.
Remove your BLT Pizza from the oven and top with a sprinkling of arugula.
Y’all. I have to tell you. This is truly one of the tastiest pizzas ever. BeeBop absolutely loved it. Make one for your football-watching folks. They’re gonna love it, too. Promise.

Know what…it would be really good for breakfast. You could also crack a couple of eggs on there and let them bake along with everything else. You may have just given me an idea for another recipe :-)
Kay says
Absolutely! I do it all the time.

Mary | Deep South Dish says
Caught you in my feed again & that sure looks delicious Lana!! Of course, down here in Saints territory, Atlanta is not a favorite team, BUT I did tell my husband that he was required to at least root for a Southern team in this case, regardless! :) With Mardi Gras in full swing & the Super Bowl in New Orleans, things are sure hopping down here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast right now!!
Lana says
It has been a long time for the Falcons since they got this close to the Super Bowl. We’re all pulling for them!
