Philly Cheesesteak Pizza

(From Feb 2011) Last night I had Broccoli Cheese Soup on the menu. When it got to be 6 o’clock and I hadn’t started it, it became clear that I needed to make something else. I had made a Pioneer Woman’s Pizza Crust the day before (it’s best after 24 hours in the fridge), we had some leftover Tri Tip, we have a ton of leeks, and we always have cheese. Thus, the Philly Cheesesteak Pizza was born… It was delicious. We may have a different kind of pizza invention every Friday from now on.
