Cheeseburger Pizza

 I had the ground beef with Vidalia onions in it, both chopped and cook, and was inspired to have a cheeseburger pizza. We also had flat bread, grated cheese, and spaghetti sauce. I chopped two zucchini and layered it all. After a very few moments in the oven, it was all melty and warm. We really enjoyed it. The zucchini was a bit crunchy still but did not detract from the overall pizza. I forgot to put fresh oregano I cut on the pizza, too. Next time, I will soften the zucchini, maybe cooking it like the onions with the ground beef.

This is a hefty yardstick. I hold it, turn it stroke it, admire the brass ends. It is such a new experience. Never in my life have I been so enamored of a new tool. The other yardsticks were all freebies and thin and much more flexible. 

Speaking of tools, I needed to use needle nose pliers. Tommy brought me his, and they were solidly rusted into one hunk of metal. Tommy said they are over 80 years. They are identical to mine--solid metal and no rubber on the handles. I really dislike the ones that have coating of whatever sort on the handles. His hammer is the same age. 

On the list, we washed the snaplock lids. I wash them and Tommy dries. Even though he was not asked, he started sorting them into sizes and placed them sideways in the bin where I keep them instead of stacking them and shuffling them to find the right lid like I did...lol. The dishwasher is now emptied. 

When Tommy's old dishwasher was removed, I took the utensil holders, two, to use in this one. I like the utensil holder on the door instead of on the side of the dishwasher. That is why I bought this particular model. Now, it does not work so well. This removable utensil holder fits on the side and is easily removable. I bought flatware! I will relate that later. 

Remains of the list: 

sort sweet potatoes

buy spray bottle

wash or color hair

hang clothes inside to dry

cook ground pork

Not on list but things accomplished today:

Tommy watered plants

I washed and filled hummingbird feeders

Tommy put them out

I napped

We drove to find pink bag of ads

At 10:30 pm, it is 95F

Tommy cooked the ground pork I put in the pan for him. Before I turned away, he asked me if I wanted to throw away the remains of the chopped zucchini that would not go on the pizza already piled high with chopped zucchini. I had him add it to the pork when it was almost done. I intend this pork to be used for taco casserole/soup, so zucchini won't make a difference. So, we used it all. I will probably freeze the ground pork. 

Tuesday night, we will have spaghetti since we have spaghetti sauce open and the rest of the ground beef and onions to use or freeze. That will most likely make two meals. 

Now, we are making a list for Wednesday. I will go into Aldi first thing Wednesday morning while produce is not trampled for grapes and zucchini. This is a time I will get up early for a bargain since the produce looks nasty and people are throwing it about and walking on it much later in the day or week. 

This was a good day, pleasant, hot. Of course, the ac was great inside...lol.  I watched birds, hummingbirds, butterflies and other birds, plus all the flowers outside the door. 

Do you have your own version of cheeseburger pizza? 

Have you found that zucchini can be added to anything without changing the taste or character of the dish?
