6 slices (Cooked and crumbled)
Cheddar cheese
3 cups (Grated)

Green onions
3 (Chopped)
Fresh basil
2 tablespoons (Chopped)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven according to the pizza crust package directions.
2
Evenly roll out the Pillsbury pizza crust on a pizza pan or cookie sheet, pressing up the sides to create a slight edge.
3
Bake the crust in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 10-12 minutes, and then remove it from the oven to cool slightly.
4
In a skillet, cook the bulk pork sausage over medium heat until browned, crumbling as it cooks. Remove and set aside.
5
In the same skillet, cook the six slices of bacon until crispy, crumble, and set aside. Dice the Canadian bacon and have it ready.
6
Chop the green onions and fresh basil, and set them aside for topping.
7
In a separate bowl, slightly beat the eggs and mix in the seasoning packet from the Stove Top stuffing. Add the stuffing mix and let it soak briefly to soften.
8
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once sizzling, whisk in the flour until smooth and bubbly, cooking for about 2 minutes to eliminate the raw taste of the flour.
9
Gradually pour in the whole milk and half-and-half while continuously whisking until you have a smooth sauce. Cook until thickened; it should be thicker than regular gravy.
10
Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind the saltiness of other ingredients.
11
Spread 1 cup of the gravy mixture evenly over the baked pizza crust.
12
Sprinkle 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the gravy, followed by the egg and stuffing mixture.
13
Spread another cup of the gravy over the egg mixture, then evenly distribute the Canadian bacon, crumbled sausage, and bacon on top.
14
Top the pizza with the remaining 2 cups of cheddar cheese, followed by the chopped green onions and fresh basil.
15
Return the assembled pizza to the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
