- 2–3 strips bacon (cooked + crumbled)
- Handful of spinach (ripped)
- 1–1.5 cups pizza cheese blend
- Onion powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F(Yes, start high—this is key for the crust.)

Pro Tips (This is the part that elevates you):
- Crispier crust: Bake directly on oven rack (if safe for your crust)
- Extra golden top: Broil for last 1–2 mins (watch closely 👀)
- Flavor boost: Add a drizzle of BBQ sauce after baking
DTF Note:
This is what I mean when I say cooking doesn’t have to be complicated to be comforting.
You took leftovers… added intention… and made a whole experience.
