Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F.
  2. Shape the Dough: Spray a large baking sheet or pizza pan with cooking spray. Roll out the pizza crust into an 18×10 inch rectangle on the baking sheet. Cut the dough into halves lengthwise, then crosswise into 4 pieces.
  3. Cut Flaps: Make ½-inch strips ⅓ of the way toward the center of each dough square.
  4. Fill and Bake: Spread pizza sauce down the middle, then layer pepperoni and cheese. Fold the flaps toward the center, leaving spaces for eyes. Place a pepperoni topped with an olive in each eye space and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Heat the Chili: Heat the vegetarian chili in a pan according to package instructions.
  6. Layer the Ingredients: On a large round serving plate, layer the chili, seasoned ground beef, and spread salsa over the top.
  7. Add Vegetables and Cheese: Layer with shredded lettuce and cheese. Top with guacamole, sour cream, and pipe the sour cream into a spiderweb design for effect. Serve with tortilla chips.
  8. Prepare the Eggs: Cut hard-boiled eggs in half and carefully remove yolks.
  9. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, mash the yolks and mix with mayonnaise, cooked bacon, mustard, relish, and onion.
  10. Fill the Whites: Spoon the filling mixture back into the egg whites and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  11. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, Hoisin sauce, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, cilantro, and green onions.
  12. Form Meatballs: Shape into balls and place on a greased baking pan.
  13. Cook and Glaze: Bake for 30 minutes, then brush with ginger-Sriracha sauce, and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  14. Mash the Avocados: In a bowl, mash the avocados with lemon juice until smooth.
  15. Mix in Other Ingredients: Fold in diced tomato, cilantro, green chilies, onion, garlic, and chicken bouillon. Adjust seasoning with hot pepper sauce if desired.
  16. Enjoy: Serve the guacamole with tortilla chips.
  17. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch salad dressing, buffalo sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir in the drained chicken.
