I'm taking y'all way back to the time
0:03
when I enjoyed a Chef Boy R D pizza
0:08
from the box. Who remembers this?
0:11
I do. Back in the late 1970s, maybe the
0:15
early 1980s especially, my mom would
0:18
make this after she got home from work.
0:20
It was one of the days of the week where
0:22
we would have pizza. Yeah. I'm going to
0:25
show y'all this version here and how I'm
0:28
going to top mine and I'm going to top
0:30
Thomas's and y'all are going to tell us
0:33
in the comments how you would top yours.
0:39
All right, you guys ready? Y'all come on
0:41
up and let's put some pizza together and
0:43
go through some nostalgia together.
0:51
She made a lot of things from boxes and
0:54
cans, but she also made homemade recipes
0:57
like cabbage rolls and chicken parmesan,
1:01
my favorite meatballs. Oh, she was
1:03
always making that. But, she always had
1:05
quick ways to make things also.
1:09
So, in the box, it comes with a can of
1:14
and two little packages here of the
1:16
pizza crust mix here that we're going to
1:22
So, it says just uh empty both of these
1:24
into the bowl, which we're going to do
1:28
I love nostalgia day. I love going back
1:33
and making things that I remember.
1:36
Now, to that, it says to add in 1 and
1:39
1/3 cup of very warm water and then
1:42
we're going to take a fork and we're
1:44
going to blend that together.
1:46
Now, you want to mix this until you get
1:49
wet and it forms a nice ball of dough.
1:55
Now, I'm just following the directions
1:56
on the back of the package here. You can
2:01
and it'll tell you how much water just
2:03
to use one package of the pizza dough.
2:07
Okay, we've got a nice ball of dough
2:11
What we're going to do is take 1 Tbsp of
2:15
pour it over the top.
2:19
Just get it nice and wet all over the
2:27
Now, we're going to cover it and let it
2:29
sit on the countertop for just 5
2:32
minutes. And while that's happening,
2:35
we'll go ahead and get our toppings
2:39
I've got everything set up. I'm going to
2:41
be cooking about half a pound of Jimmy
2:44
Dean sausage. I love the flavor of it.
2:47
It's really good. I'm just going to
2:48
break it up into big pieces and let it
2:50
brown up. And while that's happening,
2:53
I'm going to just dice up a green bell
2:56
pepper and a yellow onion, and then
2:58
we're going to add that in.
2:59
Now, that's some of what I love on my
3:01
pizza, and Thomas loves some other
3:03
things, and I'll show that here in just
3:07
Y'all thought I was going to chop this
3:09
up in front of you, didn't you?
3:13
I gave y'all a reprieve on that one.
3:15
While the sausage finishes browning up,
3:19
we're going to get that pepper and the
3:20
onion nice and softened with it.
3:23
And that's all the cooking we're doing.
3:26
We're going to bring the dough back
3:28
over, and we're going to be using two
3:30
12-in pans. Now, I've got the stainless
3:34
steel pans, so we're going to spray a
3:35
little bit of nonstick cooking spray on
3:37
them. If you're using the nonstick pans,
3:41
you don't have to do that. It'll totally
3:46
So, we're going to take the dough and
3:47
we're going to cut it in half.
3:49
Make sure your hands are nice and clean.
3:53
Oh, yeah. The dough is nice and
3:56
Boop. Boop. Spread it out evenly all
3:59
over the pan. Now, if you like these
4:01
pans, you can get them on my Amazon
4:06
which is the link to that is in my
4:08
recipe blog cathysplates.com.
4:10
Just go to the tab cookbooks and store
4:13
items and just about anything that I
4:15
use, like the bottle here, is on there.
4:18
I remember my mom making these pizzas.
4:24
it just brought it back to me when I saw
4:26
her mini pizzas in her freezer. And she
4:29
says, "Oh, yeah. That's that Chef
4:30
Boy-Ar-Dee pizza box." I'm like, "They
4:36
And it's easy for her because, you know,
4:38
she's got to have some easy things.
4:41
Okay, we got that one done.
4:43
And then we're going to do the other
4:46
Now, the kit comes with one can of Chef
4:49
Boy-Ar-Dee pizza maker sauce.
4:53
And so, you divide that amongst the two
4:58
Now, Thomas and I don't like a lot of
4:59
sauce on our pizza and he likes even
5:01
less than what I like. So, we're not
5:03
going to use the whole can cuz we don't
5:14
So, we'll just spread that evenly.
5:17
And you can probably do even a thinner
5:19
crust and put it on a larger sheet pan
5:21
if you want to do that. Okay, is that
5:23
>> All right, I'm going to be working on
5:30
Now, I'm an affiliate with the Amazon
5:32
storefront, so that means we make very
5:35
little off of what we sell on there, but
5:37
you know, every little bit helps us in
5:40
buying things like this to make for
5:45
Lets us change up recipes and that, so
5:49
All right, let's build it up.
5:52
Next is going to be the cheese. That way
5:55
we have something to hold everything
5:56
onto our pizza. Now, I'm using this one
5:59
right here and it's 8 oz and we're just
6:01
going to divide that amongst the pizzas.
6:04
Oh, y'all. Tillamook cheese, if you
6:08
You need to try it. It looks like fresh
6:11
cheese off the block, doesn't it? Look
6:14
We have to remember this one's mine
6:17
>> Yeah, you notice she cheesed
6:20
Let me come over here and put cheese on
6:23
>> She'll get all the good cheese. I got to
6:25
go get the Walmart cheese.
6:28
>> It's in a block form.
6:34
All right, if y'all want, get two bags
6:36
of the 8 oz and put one on each one.
6:39
Now, for Thomas's on top of the cheese,
6:41
we put the sausage, peppers, the onions,
6:44
Canadian bacon, some olives, and then we
6:49
put a schmidgen of Parmesan cheese.
6:53
This is what we were using here. And
6:59
>> This We put the sausage, peppers, and
7:02
onions, and then I put olives and a
7:05
schmidgen of the Parmesan cheese. These
7:07
are going to go in the oven. I have
7:11
One will go on the top rack and one will
7:13
go on the bottom rack for 12 minutes.
7:15
Then we'll rotate the pizzas. They'll go
7:18
back in the oven for another 12 to 14
7:20
minutes until that crust is nice and
7:22
crusty, golden brown, and the cheese is
7:24
melted, and that sauce is nice and
7:26
bubbly. All right, we'll be back cuz I'm
7:28
going to try a piece for you.
7:30
Okay, that's Thomas's.
7:46
>> Smells so delicious in here.
7:55
All right, let's take a look.
7:58
Mhm, y'all see that cheese? Can y'all
8:01
see that cheese pull?
8:05
I'm going to give it a try for you. Get
8:06
the bottom of that. Yeah.
8:17
Isn't that cheese makes that pizza? Let
8:26
That dough is very delicious. It's
8:29
light, it's airy. It's a little thick,
8:31
but it kind of gives me a sour dough a
8:34
sour dough texture to it. It's very
8:41
Here's what I used right here. You can
8:43
make one or you can make two. Or get two
8:46
boxes and make four. Make everybody
8:49
All right. Y'all give me a thumbs up on
8:52
this one. I hope you enjoyed my
8:53
nostalgia show today. I sure did.
8:56
Brought back a tons of memories for me.
8:59
I'll see y'all on the next episode. Bye.
