Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Picture this:  Roasted butternut squash. Bacon. Blue Cheese. Caramelized Onions. All that good stuff layered on top of toasted ciabatta bread.  This Butternut Squash, Bacon, Blue Cheese Pizza is a flavor party in your mouth!

Roasted Butternut Squash, Bacon, Blue Cheese and Caramelized Onion PizzaI thought now that Fall has officially arrived it’s probably time to start making some more hearty, comforting food!  This Butternut Squash, Bacon, Blue Cheese Pizza is certainly more Fall-like to me than the ice cream and salads I’ve been making all summer.

Butternut Squash pizza ingredientsI like to buy the pre-cut butternut squash from the grocery, it’s so much quicker and easier than trying to manhandle butternut squash.  If you can’t find a package already cut up, just cut up a squash and dice it into small cubes. Toss the butternut squash with a little olive oil, salt & pepper and roast them in the oven for about 20 minutes.  I cook the bacon in the oven while the squash is roasting but you could cook it in a separately skillet if desired. While all that’s cooking, sauté up some sliced onions until soft and golden brown.  I used some crumbled blue cheese today, but if you’re not a blue cheese fan, just substitute it with extra mozzarella or parmesan…or even goat cheese!
