How Sweet Final Graphic

A great blog sucks you in.

Not just the food, or the photos, but the person behind it. A person you become a least mildly obsessed with. A real-life human who writes in a way that you makes you want more of them. When I first started blogging, Jess from How Sweet It Is was that girl. After I found her blog I binge read her past posts for at least two hours, and then proceeded to creepily google stalk her.

The most shocking thing about this endeavor was that she was on the other side of the computer, stalking me right back. When I finally met her in real life she gave me the biggest, most genuine hug I’ve ever been on the receiving end of and said, "I love your blog! I even google stalked you!" I was too shocked and flattered to tell her that I’d done the exact same thing to her, so I tried my best to play it cool.

Of all the people I’ve been fortunate enough to meet in this crazy world of blogging, there isn’t anyone more genuinely nice than Jessica. She’s even more of what you want her to be, sincerely gracious, food obsessed, blogging groupie, people fan, she’s the real deal and absolutely worthy of your google stalking hours.

She not only makes incredible food, she’s also making a human. In her guts. In honor of this incredible feat, a bunch of bloggers, all of whom have done our share of Jessica How Sweet Google Stalking decided to show her some love. We trashed up some food in her honor.

And I can’t wait to see the human she makes. Someone as nice, talented and genuine as Jess, I think she should make all the babies from now on.

Trashed Up Beer Cheese Tater Tot Pizza

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb pale ale pizza dough
  • ½ cup pizza sauce marinara or barbeque sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella shredded
  • 2 cups tater tots cooked according to package directions
  • Olive oil for crust about 2 tbs
  • 2 tbs Butter melted
  • 2 tbs Flour
  • 1 tbs Cornstarch
  • ½ cup beer wheat beer, blonde ale, pale ale, pilsner
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar do not use pre shredded
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • salt and pepper
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • 4 strips bacon cooked and chopped
  • ¼ cup pickled jalapenos nacho jalapenos

Instructions
 

  • Place 10-inch cast iron skillet in the lower third of the oven. Heat to 425 degrees with pan in the oven. Heat for at least half hour prior to baking.
  • Stretch the pizza dough into a 10-inch circle, avoid a rolling pin as this will remove the air bubbles that give great texture. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven, gently placing the crust in the pan.
  • Spread with sauce, top with mozzarella cheese and then cooked tater tots. Brush exposed crust with olive oil.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese has melted the edges are golden brown.
  • While the pizza is baking make the sauce.
  • Add the melted butter, flour, cornstarch, beer, cheddar cheese and milk to a blender. Blend on high until well combined. Add to a pot over medium high heat until thick and bubbly. Salt and pepper to taste. (If you encounter any issues with the texture, just re-blend until smooth).
  • Once the pizza is cooked, remove from oven, top with beer cheese sauce, sprinkle with cilantro, chopped bacon and pickled jalapenos.

OMG… two weekends ago my boyfriend and I were in Minnesota for a wedding and as part of the afterparty we discovered a pizza chain called Toppers. AMAZING late night drunk food, and we ordered a pizza that was half mac and cheese (we requested that bacon be added) and half "loaded totzza" which consisted of tater tots, bacon, nacho cheese, and I don’t even know what else. We were SO bummed we couldn’t find it at home… but then here you are saving the day!!! I already emailed him and we are making this tomorrow night–perfect Friday night pizza 🙂
