Gourmet Tailgate Recipe, Anyone? Try Burpee’s Playoff Pizza

According to USA Today, tailgaters are getting creative with gourmet food on game day. And fresh, locally sourced foods are at the heart of these recipes—especially vegetables.

Thinking about what to serve at your pre-game party this weekend? For a no-hassle, gourmet crowd-pleaser, Burpee recommends its Playoff Pizza recipe.

The artisan-style Playoff Pizza features fresh, good-for-you ingredients such as cherry tomatoes, garden-grown leeks, garlic and fresh herbs like basil and thyme. Best of all, the recipe is simple to make, calling for ready-made pizza crust and requiring less than a half hour of your time to prepare and bake. For the full recipe, click here.
