Method
Pizza Bun Topping
In large skillet, fry bacon over medium-high heat until almost crisp, 10 minutes. Drain off fat. Add onion, garlic, mushrooms, ham, sausage, pepperoni, oregano, basil, salt and pepper; cook over medium heat, stirring, until onion is softened, 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl and let cool.
Add pasta sauce, tomato paste, tomatoes and Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses; mix well. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 days. Or freeze for up to 2 weeks.)
Cut buns in half. Spread 1/2 cup (125 mL) topping onto each, right to edge. Sprinkle with cheese. Place on rimmed baking sheet; bake in 450°F (230°C) oven until bubbly and golden, about 10 minutes.
