Campisi's at Home

A few months ago, I found a wonderful feature of my grocery store (Kroger):

Manager's Specials. In every section of the grocery store, you can find a little "pocket" of all the foods with tomorrow's expiration date. For example, in the meat/poultry department, there is one shelf with chicken and steaks, etc. that are half-price. There is a shelf with all the half-price lettuce. The catch is, you have to use it within a few days (or freeze it). I like to shop the Manager's Specials, because it forces me to be creative with what I find each time.

The deli has a little Campisi's section with pre-made pizzas. I recently found that many of these pizzas are put half-price right before the "Buy Buy" date. Perfect if I know I'm going to cook it that night.

I found a good sausage/hamburger Campisi's pizza for Ethan's dinner. We also had some summer sausage and canadian bacon. I decided to try to "fry" a bit of this as extra topping since it was just sitting in the fridge. I just threw a few slices of each in a skillet and turned it on high. They browned up quickly. Ethan added them onto the cooked pizza. I also threw together his simple salad.

(By the way, I cooked the pizza in the oven... I used the frying pan to remove it from the oven without burning my hands.)
