    I've been thinking about tailgating recipes lately because I love football! Can't wait for the season to start (just a couple of weeks now) and it doesn't matter whether it's college (although it is my favorite) or NFL. Can I get a "Go Team"?! Any other crazy football fans out there?

    I have my favorite appetizers like Sauerkraut Meatballs and Eggplant Parmesan Stacks but I wanted to try something new.  So I started experimenting with different recipes (which my husband doesn't mind in the least) and I came up with these fantastically delicious, perfectly sized pizza bombs.

    Now pizza bombs have been around for quite some time but I put my own spin on them and used my favorite BBQ chicken pizza filling inside a delicious fresh wheat pizza dough. They are super easy to make when using store-bought pizza dough, your favorite jarred pasta, BBQ sauce, and a rotisserie chicken.

    They can be made ahead of time and cooked right before everyone arrives so you get to enjoy the game too. The house will smell so good that you might want to make more as they usually are devoured as soon as they reach the table.

    But wait, they make a quick and easy dinner too so don't rule them out for a busy weeknight. And believe me, the kids will love them! I like to serve pasta sauce on the side and dip those little babies in it for some extra flavor.

    You can also save more time by forming into a pizza roll. This just entails rolling all the filling into a log, sealing the edges, and baking. Then just cut into slices and serve.

    Topping

    Instructions

    • Mix together pasta sauce, BBQ sauce and chicken. Combine both cheeses.

    To assemble:

    • Place a small amount of chicken mixture in the center of each circle. Top with a little cheese. Sprinkle on a tablespoon or so of each vegetable - onion, tomato and pepper. Fold circle up into a ball and pinch edges closed.
    • Prepare topping. Place olive oil in small bowl. Mix cheese, garlic powder and Italian seasoning together and place on plate.

    Notes

    Can also be made into a BBQ Chicken Pizza Roll by rolling dough into rectangle as above and scattering chicken then cheese over the too and finishing with vegetables. Roll into log and seal edges by pinching together. Brush with olive oil and pat cheese mixture all over log. Bake for about 30 minutes. Cut and serve.
